My gran had 8 children - I think I have enough fabric to make a good sized throw quilt for all 7 of my aunt & uncles. The 8th quilt would be for my dad, but he has passed away...I've decided that if there's enough fabric for an 8th quilt I will make it and keep it for myself, maybe to eventually pass along to my niece or nephew if they're interested when they're older.
