Appreciation: Having gratitude for something done or made for you or someone else, to the point that you love and use what I have given you. In terms of a quilt, I will be the happiest quilter in the world if you ask me to make you another quilt because you or your children have worn it out. I made matching quilts for a set of twins my friend had, and she was worried that they are going to wear them out. I told her that is the best reason, and nothing would make me sadder to see them not be used at all because she was afraid they would misuse or be too rough with them. They are on their toddler beds now, get washed at least twice a week, but my current plan is that I will finish their bigger kid quilts before they totally wear them out so they have them when they are older.
