Maybe I ought to back up a bit. My MIL made quilt tops but never finished them. I always hoped she'd hand them out while she was alive, but she wanted them left in a group for after she died. Well, they're all packed up.
My DH, her youngest son and I have one DD who has two DD's of her own. I've requested two top for me to get machine quilted and put away until the girls get their own places (or married or whatever!). They are little skunks now and don't need full sized quilts. So, I am putting away their quilts------------if I ever get the tops. But my MIL was very tight fisted about her work. Why she didn't hand them out while she was alive is beyond me.
Our DD is not getting one as far as I'm concerned. She's like her daddy, If you want something go to Sears or Home Depot and buy it.
