I made my grandson a baby quilt before he was born using a Moda Bakeshop pattern titled, Pinwheels. It became his comfort blanket. When he was 4, he asked me to make it bigger. I cut the binding off and added in batting and inches of fabric to sides and ends. It's been loved to death! He's 12 years old now and requested a new blanket just like his little one. He wanted it to be the same colors, so I took him to Joann's one day and we chose fabric. The result is a 53x73 inch quilt using pinwheels. Needless to say, he was very happy with it and was already breaking it in when we left.

That is so awesome. Thank you for sharing your story. That is the way I would like all my quilts to be loved to pieces.

How sweet that he loves his quilt so much that he wants it replicated. I had to do somethig similar to this for my son. He is a full fledged adult asked for an updated version. It was one of those warm moments moms and grandmas cherish in their hearts.

A quilter's aspiration: to have every quilt loved to death. Great job Nana!

What an honor to have the request from a 4-year-old little guy and the 12-year-old 'growing up'. Wonder how long it will take until you get another request.
You have the best grandson.
