Made a bright orange quilt for my youngest grandaughter when she was born....it has been washed and re-washed because of her allergies, but she doesn`t go to bed without it...had to replace the binding so it would last a bit longer...making her a new one now...a bug jar one, but a bit worried it won`t hold as well to alll the washings...aw well i`ll make her another one later..lol

He said she got a lot of stuff in the divorce but he refused to give up the quilt. That brought a lump and a few tears.
