Default Three-year-old's Response to Quilt

This proves that every quilt doesn't have to qualify for THE QUILT SHOW.

I made my three-year-old granddaughter a simple quilt. When her daddy held it up for her to see, she really looked it over. Then she exclaimed, "It's amazing!" And off she went to bed with it.

Several years ago, I was showing my SIL and several other relatives the quilt tops I had made. I told them to pick one each and I would finish the quilt and it would be theirs. A niece's daughter, who was 6 or 7 at the time, whispered to her mother, who immediately said "You have to ask." She turned to me and pointed to the only "kid" type quilt I had and sweetly asked if she could have it. I told her she would have to pay me for it, then smiled and said the cost was a kiss and a hug. She flew into my arms and gave me one of the best hugs and biggest kisses I had ever gotten from a child, bar none. She carried that quilt with her the rest of the weekend and, according to her mom, still has it on her bed at home.

I made my granddaughter a quillow to take to college. She wore it out and needed another. I have made her a total of three now. Uses the pocket part to put feet and cover up with the rest.

Thank you all. I would like for it to have been something outstanding, but to her- it was.
