    I agree that seeing them used is the best thank-you. When I made quilts for both my niece's boys she thanked me but when she had pictures and they were laying on the quilt or wrapped in it, I felt like I was thanked all over again.

    I agree, it is nice to know your efforts and talents are appreciated. I talked with one quilter who said she made a queen size wedding quilt for each of her grandchildren. Until one day she visited one of their homes and found her lovely quilt thrown in the dog's bed. Unfortunately the rest of the grandchildren missed out on getting a quilt for their wedding.

    Gives you a good feeling when they are used. I made one for my moms 75th and she takes it off the bed every night. I just laugh and tell her quilts are made to use. She loves the quilt and doesn't want to wear it out.
