True! My own mother made quilts for my brothers and their wives, most of their kids. I finally asked her if she was ever going to make one for me. She asked,"Why? you can make one for yourself." She finally did make one for me & I treasure it... and yes, I had made a quilt for her.

NOTHING...Actually I have made a few quilts for my home--my mom was a crocheter and made many blankets for me and my children--I still use the ones she made for me. I also have a lap blanket my sister made me many, many years ago--my favorite colors (fall colors), so I still use it.
NOW THE GOOD PART: My daughter is making a scrapbook for me including most of the quilts I have made so far with a story about each--They have all been for family--We have 21 grands and 5 great granddaughters so a lot of work. BTW, I have been quilting since Oct. 1998.
Another good part of quilting is the friends one makes!!!
