Awww!!
That is like the quilt I made for my husband's grandmother. She loved it, and told me with teary eyes that NOBODY had ever made a quilt for her, in her whole life!
I was so touched, I cried. I love that lady and I was unbearably proud to have given her something that she obviously treasures. She is bedridden and every time I visit she shows me that the quilt is right there on her bed and tells me that she loves just looking at it and stroking the flannel backing. Totally melts my heart every single time, and it more than makes up for any less-than-enthusiastic reactions I've ever gotten to my quilts.
