I made an envelope quilt for my niece when she had her first baby. It was mostly hand stitched and took me several years to finish as I had small children myself and didn't work on it for periods of time. It turned out to be a beautiful blanket and now that my niece has her own grandchildren , I asked the DIL if she got the baby quilt and didn't know what I was talking about so I asked my niece if she still had it and she said she did but took it down from the wall when she aquired DILs as she was not passing it on til she was ready to . She says it is HERS. So I would guess she appreciated it.
