I made crib size quilts years ahead of ever needing them for any future grandchildren that I might have. I prayed someday I'd be a Grandmother and who knew if I'd be able to make quilts when the time came. Fast forward many years later and my daugther was pregnant with our first grandchild and I opened up my hopechest and let her choose which one she wanted for the baby. My granddaugther is now 9 yrs. old and she STILL brings that quilt upstairs with her when she wakes up!! It is now in shreds but she won't take anything new she loves her "Blankie". Her brother who is 4 also loves his quilt. He also brings his upstairs when I am on duty babysitting. It does my heart good that they really do love and appreciate them. But I really am more than ready for my granddaugther to adopt a new, bigger quilt and tuck old Blankie away. But so far she won't hear of it!!
