She will cherish it....

Love the smile on her face. I can understand why you quilt. I too had an aha moment one night as I came upon my DH fast asleep as peaceful as a newborn under a quilt I had made. BTW it is a beautiful quilt.

You designed a wonderful, scrappy quilt! So glad your lovely granddaughter is thrilled with it--I know I would be, too!

I understand where you are coming from.

It is so much fun to gift something to someone that appreciates it.

Yes, the very best reason to quilt.

Your GD & your quilt are just beautiful. This is why I quilt too. She looks like you gave her a million bucks. She will always cherish her quilt from you.

Wonderful quilt, Granddaughter and memories.

So beautiful. She will always cherish it.

Just think about how pleased that little girl's children are likely to be years and years from now when they inherit the quilt. I know I inherited some well-worn quilts and they represent a tie to my Grandmothers. In fact, I never met my maternal Grandmother who died long before I was born, but she made a quilt for each of her 12 children and my aunt kept my Mom's quilt for her for a few years then gave it her--new from the hands of her deceased mother! I have that quilt today and it's my only connection to my incredible grandmother. It may be the best memorial one can leave behind!

ontheriver 06-28-2016 05:03 AM

Your grand is beautiful and so is her quilt.

caspharm 06-28-2016 07:55 AM

Wow! Great quilt.

roserips 06-28-2016 10:26 AM

Your grand daughter looks thrilled to have such a wonderful quilt. My grand mother shared her love of quilting with me and that gift just keeps giving long after her quilts, which were loved to death.

Stitchnripper 06-28-2016 10:36 AM

Look at her sweet happy face!! Quilt is great. I would love it too.
