I did think of that, and am still considering it.
I did that for another friend, who has no children, but whose husband has grandchildren who visit. When this friend learned I had begun quiltmaking, she was so supportive, sending me quilt magazines and books. She does love quilts, so I knew the one I made for their "house" would be welcome. When she called to thank me, she said "I'm not sure any grandchild will ever be allowed on this!" (I had suggested they might use it on the floor as a play or nap quilt.) She seemed thrilled just to have it, which of course made me very happy.
