Even if she is gone, there should ge quilts for those greatgrands.

Lovely idea.

My daughter wore the pink as an infant. When my daughter was five, my mom passed away and, when I was going through her things, I found the yellow set with a note explaining why she had made them. I put them away for 23 years and when my daughter married and was expecting her first baby, gave them to her at her baby shower with the card. That little yellow sweater set caused the whole roomful of ladies to weep, but many of those ladies have taken to making gifts for their "unborn future grandchildren" Mama had no idea of the future impact of her thoughtfulness!
