I made a photo quilt of the family for my FIL 80th birthday. He never used it to cover up - he wanted to hang it on the wall. He was a carpenter and made a beautiful quilt hanger for it. It was proudly displayed in their home. When he died in March at the age of 90, they draped the quilt on the altar at his funeral. That made me so proud and so glad I made it for him.
Also, yesterday after church, my 7 YO GS asked if I would be a sponsor at church day camp. I told him I thought I was too old (I'm 64) but he said I was a fun old person!
