You never know about the younger generation (throw away mentality) My worst nightmare would be if they would do what your daughter in law did - put my quilts on a garage sale. I haven't given them very much - mostly table runners and pillows - I'm waiting until they mature and can appreciate the time involved in making a quilt. When I was 16 years old - 47 years ago - my grandma gave me a set of rhinestone jewelry. When I was young - in my 20's - I foolishly sold it on a garage sale. Now - I wish I had it- when a person is in their teens and 20's they do not have an appreciation for heirlooms - maybe some do - but most of them are only concerned with the here and now. Judy
