I had made my two nephews and niece each a simple nine patch quilt for their beds when they came to visit. They were 4,6,and 7 and at the time. They absolutely adored them. Now the youngest nephew who is 26, still snuggles with it while watching television. My sister told me he still loves it. I think it is time for a new one!

I love the original story and the others that people have been posting! I made an Attic Windows I Spy for a 3-yr-old little boy who recently got a baby sister. When he opened the package he said, "Is this mine? All mine? Just for me?". He won't allow anyone else to touch it.

That response made it outstanding! Cute quilt and a child's loving and brief way of showing gratitude! My DGS never had a lot to say, but always had a big hug and still has every quilt I have made for him. Even asked me on my last visit if I could repair his Harry Potter quilt. He is now 20 and the quilt has to be at least 10 yrs old and loved to the point of being threadbare!! I had to explain that there wasn't much left to fix! (It was still on his bed!!)
