This was to be a quilt that would be passed on to the grandson, great-grandson, etc. I'm beginning to think it is never going to get passed on out of my house.

<bows head in embarrassment> yes, i did mean his age. ooops! :oops: i hope he's fine also, now that i've mentioned it, though. :lol:

i understand about leaving the quilt with you. my son adopted a kitten and when it was three weeks old he, then 22, left it while got his new apartment in order. fifteen years later we had to put it to sleep. it just got tired of waiting for him to come and get him. last year we put our daughter's cat to sleep at age 20. i feel like a home for abandoned cats.

someday your son will be ready to get it and be glad you kept it. for now, box it up and wait. what else can you do? sometimes appreciation comes later in life. :cry:

Brought back memories. Back then I made purses out of used denim and embroidered on the flap. It started with mine and then I got requests from friends. Anyway I love your quilt.
