I've told my daughters-in-law to use the quilts, I can make more.
Best feeling in the world was when one 4 year old, sitting beside me on the sofa with his well worn (abboo-his name for his quilt) tells me he's going to save abboo for his kids. Nothing better than that.

I just made her another one for a soon to be granddaughter, and I feel good knowing these quilts are really loved. My nephew's wife has packed away the baby quilts I made for their children. When the children are grown, they'll probably say to Mom, what do I need this for, and even maybe - who is this lady? And the quilts will end up in a thrift shop, or as a rag.
Which quilts do you make that make you feel good - the preserved ones, or the wore to the nubs ones??
