years ago when i was a teenager, my favorite aunt asked me about a quilt. she wrote down my favorite colors and stuff i liked. well, life got busy and i never thought about it again. Last month (i'm 45 now) on the sunday before Christmas, the hospice folks were there for my Mom. They said the time had come and she would be gone in a few hours to days. The next day, Monday, the UPS truck pulled in the yard. With a box for me. I hadn't ordered anything, it confused me. I opened it up to find a quilt. My aunt had made the quilt, mostly hand work, some machine. That touched me more than anything. I so needed to know someone else was thinking about me. I wrapped up in that quilt and it helped me get through the next few days. We lost Mama Christmas morning. The quilt is on my bed now and has gotten me through this past month. Its a Sunbonnet Sue, traditional. All colors with sashing in a salmon color. It is beautiful, in thought and deed.

yes I would take a crazy quilt made with all the trimmings just to say that so an so made it for ME, maybe some day I'll make myself one every one I know, knows that I make my own quilts and would probly think that theirs would not meet my standards( and they would be right) so best if I make my own think I'll start thinking on that one tomorrow.

You know I'm not wild about double knit quilts either that being said we have two and my husband's grandfather made both of them and for that reason alone I will cherish them. Just saying never say never.

When I found out I was going to be a grandmother for the first time, I had mixed feelings. I didn't feel this girl was right for my son, but a baby is such a blessing. My quilting sisters listened when I shared my feelings and they all got together without me knowing and presented me with a beautiful quilt. I cried! I know the work that goes into a quilt and the fact that they all gave of their time is just so special to me. I've now moved away from my quilting circle and will treasure that quilt always.

I would be thrilled with anything someone made me. It would just make my day to know that someone cared enought about me, to take all that time and love to make me a quilt. That would just be so awesome.

I was gifted with a queen sized quilt by a group of quilting friends when I had my hip replaced in 2005. So appreciated the love and thought (and prayers) that went into making it for me.

What would make my eyes light up would be that they made it special for me. To know what work went into making a quilt, this person must be quite special and for her to make it for you she must think you are quite special. I don't like to applique, and I know I would appreciate a quilt that was appliqued especially all the hand work that has gone into it. I like to make quilts for special people in my life and I like to make samplers and I use patterns that will relate to them. I would never ask a person to make a special quilt for them. I would leave that up to them as I don't usually ask a person what they want. I may ask for a special color they would like (I just did that this weekend for my niece. I am going to make her a quilt and she said her favorite colors are pink and orange). She'll get those as the main two colors. Then I am on my own. Hope that helps you. Edie
