Schuffle, that is so cute & it reminds me of when my son was little around 4 years old. My mom had a scrap quilt made by my grandma. It was nothing fancy (just simple squares), but it had a silky fabric for the backing. When one of my kids would get sick my Mom would bring that quilt to help them get well. I think if they had a fever that silky fabric felt cool to their skin. Anyway, my son Logan asked me one time to put love in the laundry. It turns out he had ask my Mom why it smelled so good and she told him she had put love in the wash just for him. It was Downy fabric softner. Now he's 25 & has said that he would like to be left that quilt. I have the quilt now and when he gets married or settled down he will definitely get that quilt. Quilts are love!

I always tell the kids I think of them and how much love I have for them when I quilt...and they all love them.
