My mom started a tradition of give a quilt (she made Quillows) for her grandchildren (she had 60 !) when they graduated from high school. When she died my sisters wanted to finish the project she started. Three nieces graduated this year and my 1st granddaughter. I love this tradition and so do the graduates.

Granddaughter Sarah I made this with a Jelly Roll and added borders with Minky on the back

Very, very nice. Lovely quilts for lovely girls. They will be cherished for a very long time. I'd say your family feels very blessed to have you make these beautiful quilts for them.

60 grandchildren; what a blessing. Kudos to you for keeping the tradition alive and well. The children will greatly appreciate it. Thank you for sharing.
