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!)
When my son (now 32) was about 3, his sister made him a quilt - just big squares sewn together, very little quilting and plain backing. He's still got it, it has disintegrated almost totally - a lot of it looks like the knees on kid's jeans nowadays with all the slashing.
