My dear friend while in her mid 80's and she was determined to make quilts for her great-grand children while she could still see (she had macular degeneration). So I helped her make the basic patchwork quilts, one for her great-grand daughter was Christmas fabric (between the 2 of us she was able to put 300 different fabrics in it). She asked me to sew on the binding and she gave it to her daughter to put under the tree. Instead of wrapping the quilt they had it draped over the edge of the chair next to the tree. Christmas morning when the little girl saw it her mom said she took a deep breath, turned to her mother and said, "Oh look what Mrs. Claus made just for me, isn't it beautiful?!" No-one had the heart to tell her that her great-grand mother made it.
