What a wondeful memory you will carry with you for a long, long time. I was a crocheter for a long time and made afghans for my family and recently one we all use when we are at the lake house. They like the soft, pliable throws like afghans ... hard to duplicate that in a quilt. Most of my quilts have been donation quilts so I miss out on actually "seeing" them being used ... but feel they are appreciated.
