This isn't regarding the quilt, but when my first grandchild was on the way, I bought books for him - every once in awhile - and on the inside front cover, I wrote him a letter about what was happening that day, how I was feeling about being a gramma for the first time, how much I looked forward to seeing him, etc. It was a treasure for him in later years - I got to hold him right after birth and we bonded - SOOOO special. I missed that with the other three.
