A son can touch your heart like no one else. I am glad you gave it to him I know from your story he will treasure it always. Some times a gift of time spent with your child no matter how old they are is a very precious gift. God Bless.

How beautiful, story and quilt

Aren't sons just so wonderful, I have 3

Wonderful story! Makes me teary-eyed, too!

Teared me up that's for sure!! How awesome it is that our kids let us know how much they love and appreciate us?
My very first quilt, that was a quilt, not a first try without batting, but my very FIRST actual quilt was one requested by my daughter. She asked me to make a quilt for her and she picked out the colors. It took me a year to make and other than the blocks themselves is pretty awful. The quilting is very bad. But she loves it! My husband thought I was crazy giving her my first ever quilt, until I explained that having my children want something that I created and made myself, all me, was the greatest feeling ever! I just love that my kids want something that I made!

Gorgeous quilt, special son! Hope you don't mind if I use your quilt as an inspiration for one of mine. Absolutely love scrappy patchwork and applique.
