Years ago my sister told me she was going to do her sun porch in yellow and blues. I made her a wonderful, quite expensive (to me anyway) large throw quilt in those colors and mailed it to her. Imagine my horror when I went to visit and saw it covering the dog cage. Guess she loved her dog more than the quilt. She passed away last year and I was given the quilt back....it now hangs on my wall. Every time I see it I'm reminded how much she loved her dog and I smile!! Now I quilt for my 3 children and a granddaughter.
