With that quilt on her bed, she makes her bed every morning. I have never seen a child love a quilt so. Best wishes with your quilt.
This post made me tear up. Such a simple and kind thing for you to do for a child that may have not received many such gifts. No matter what happens in her life, she'll never forget this quilt ...... or you.
