how big did you make the quilt? I have a nephew who lost his legs and he would probably really like one of these quilts.

I love it and your son did a great job picking out the border fabric. Maybe I need to borrow him for a while the next time I am picking out fabric!!

Your Gr'ma inlaw will love that quilt and it will keep her cozy while she sits and looks out the window. So nice of you to do that for her.
