How wonderful to have generations of quilters in your family to complete the tops. I have a new niece and have already teased the family that I see a felloW quilter in her! :)

What a great tradition that you're going to start.

That's a wonderful reason to store quilt tops that you haven't finished.

I have found my unfinished quilt tops or WIPS without purpose to be very useful as wedding and baby gifts when they come up.

Wonderful story! I rarely keep a quilt, always make them to sell or gift. I may change my mind.

I have many completed quilts, but no "just tops".

Great story! Sadly my mother (who hates sewing) is the only other female left in our family.

Good point. Our hobby produces something beautiful and lasting.
