My grandmother did that for each of her 12 grandchildren. She made them as we were born and gave them to us when we got married. Not to date myself but mine had hand embroidered state birds and flowers. It only had 48 blocks since Hawaii and Alaska were not states when I was born!!. She also made a set of hand embroidered pillow cases and put the quilt inside of the pillow case to store. One other thing she did was put our names on them. She passed away before everyone was married, but we knew which she had made each person by the names attached to them.
