I have been fortunate to have several quilts that were greatly loved. I made grandsons boat quilts when they were small and a few years ago the youngest, now past 30 told me he was still using his quilt but it was so fragile he had to pull it up over him very carefully as he could hear the threads breaking! That's loved! Also made a quilt for a friend's baby and when she was admiring it our area administrator happened by and said, "Wow, that would really light up a room!" Quite a compliment. Also made a quilt for my in-laws 60th wedding anniversary. It had pictures of all their kids and grandkids on it and was put together with a nice border fabric and then hand quilted. Grandma could never bring herself to put it on a bed but they proudly showed it to everyone who came by the house for years! All of our grandkids (15) and great grandkids (25) have had baby quilts and all the nieces and nephews got baby quilts for their first babies so I have made a lot of them as well as a bunch of wall quilts and bed quilts for our home.
