My grandma made quilts and when DD was very young my mom made her a quilt. It was just five inch squares sewed together but it was so loved. All my kids used it and when my DGD was 4 she was looking in my youngest daughters closet and pulled that tattered worn out quilt out of all the blankets stored there and declared it as hers. I decided if something could evoke so much love I wanted to make one too. I've been quilting ever since and have loved it.
