I found it incredibly fun to make quilts for my grown children, each aimed at that particular child. I have a friend who has made baby quilts, one for each of her very young grand children (ages about 6 to18) so that each great grand child will have a quilt from her in their family, whether she still alive or not. Hmmm My one son who never thought about wanting children is absolutely ga ga over his two daughters, while another son who always wanted children will not be having any. For this reason I would stick with bed, lap, holiday table runners.... I've met too many wanna be grandparents who have children with other ideas, or who simply cannot produce. It can come across as pushy, and even painful, when all you mean is to celebrate the continuation of the family. I hope this doesn't upset anyone, it's just my own opinion and experience.
