    I made quilts for all 4 grandkids when they were born, and they all sleep with them (still), take them to sleep-overs with friends. The oldest, my 14 yr. old grandson has "sort of" outgrown that, but if you look closely--it's there at the foot of his bed! I LOVE it that they LOVE them! Makes a Grandma's heart go pitter-patt!

    The quilt looks pretty good (except the binding) for all the washing it has received. Nice to be loved.

    What a pretty and well loved quilt :) I'm a hand quilter too, have never machine quilted a quilt either but I certainly do appreciate the beauty and time saved. Maybe you would feel comfortable making her a quilt as you go quilt? I've done one and it was fun & fast. Thanks for sharing a happy story and a great quilt.

    Nothing like a well-loved quilt. Makes one smile all the way to the toes. Try machine quilting! You can make lots of practice quilts and have fun with them.

    Such a cut story and she loves the quilt so much. Yes let her watch you put the new binding on and pick it out. It will make a difference. She will show everyone.

    How wonderful that she loved the quilt so much ... that is what we hope for all our quilts - that they are well loved.

    Awww how sweet. I have a grandson that just loves his quilt too. It is also tattered and torn. I stitch it up every now and then.

    Your quilt is just beautiful. I hope my GK's love theirs enough to wear them out also. I would be so proud and happy.
