Hope they will treasure them as much as the little boy did.
good morning kyquiltlover1942. That's my birthyear too! We're the same age. I'm not sure you read the same book The Quilt that I was speaking of. Mine was by T. Davis Bunn and there wasn't a little boy in the one I read. It was about a grandmother who made a quilt as her last accomplishment on this earth. Very touching. Maybe there's another one called the quilt with a little boy in it. Who wrote the one you read? I might get it for my kindle also. Let me recommend mine to you also. Very nice story. Have a good day! btw, did you make washable quilts for your gkds from wedding gowns, etc.? I want to make one but am concerned about how to keep it clean using it for a baby. Any thoughts on that? I don't want them to have to dryclean it every time baby spits on it. Not sure if satin will work with frequent washing. Thanks for your input!
