You've made a wonderful lasting memory for your family- just what quilts are for.

Such a wonderful thing to give the young man. I used to work with autistic children and they can be a handful. Your sister is an angel for raising the children.

God bless him! What a joy and comfort for him to wrap himself up in this quilt that was made for his Uncle. And he even realized how long it took you to make it and that he knows his Uncle Carson is with him, he seems very sensitive and in touch with what really counts, what a blessing he must be to all of you!

I too have a grandson on the autistic spectrum he also LOVES quilts and all things soft and cuddly. Being an aspie also he tells the truth as he sees it, so when I get a compliment I treasure it.
