One of the GD had a good dozen quilts given to her when she was born. She had cancer and started chemo when she was 4 mo old and everytime she went to the Children's hospital they gave her another quilt. Later the parents were very hard pressed to find babies to give all the quilts to, and none of the quilts had any special meaning to them. They ended up at Goodwill. When they used a quilt or a blanket they selected it on the basis of color and the clothes the baby was wearing, nothing else. Pink dress, pink blanket, etc. Someone could have put binding on a piece of minky and it would have meant as much to them as a pieced quilt. Go figure.
