I am so glad I took the time and gave him a quilt. (Right now we are vacationing with the family and he is enjoying his quilt, nightly!)
I was surprised by my nephew's reaction: I made him a quilt when he was around 9. He watched me make it and his mother, my sister, said that he always remade the bed if she didn't put it on top. It has lasted long enough that he is 41 years of age and still using it.Perhaps I ought to contemplate a 'new' one?
