    Guess after all this, my question is.....is there a quilt giving season?[/quote]
    ------------------------------------------
    Yes, there IS a quilt giving season. It starts when the quilt is finished and ends when the person gets it to love.

    Sew 'em up as soon as possible and give them to the grandkids. Quilts are a gift of love and you will wrap them up with LOVE. :thumbup:

    I would give the quilt, regardless of the weather. For me, a quilt is more of a "comfort" thing, however it is used. It seems like the children would love to have something special that was made just for them. Sew away!

    Get stitchin, girlfriend!
    I agree. Quilts are forever

    I use a quilt year round. I HAVE to have something on me while I sleep. Especially if they are going through a difficult time this would brighten their day. I say absolutely give it to them now. :) You are very sweet to think of them and do this for them. Those kids will love it! ;)

    I'm with so many other posters.....give the quilts now as there are so many uses besides warmth. These loving gifts from you will probably be remembered long after you are gone as gifts of acceptance and love that came from your heart as you welcomed them into your lives and home. I hope these little ones bring you much happiness.

    I agree - quilt giving is year-round and quilts are for snuggling and comfort as much as cold-weather coverage.

    I should have mentioned too that if they have air conditioning then the kids may be cold because usually adults like it cooler than the kids do. Mine will drag their's off their beds and into the living room when they wake up because they are still cold. It's been in the 90's here lately too. ;) I'd love to see pictures of your quilts when they are completed. :)

    PLEEEEEZE!!!! Every season is Quilt Season. In the winter, quilts lay on children for warmth and love. In the summer children lay on quilts during naps, playtime, TV time. Some even hang them on the walls as art treasures to be studied.
    GIVE THE KIDS A QUILT LOL
