    What a touching story! Your favorite nephew is going to be delighted that his work is in his child's quilt. You will always be his favorite aunt.

    Oh my, they are just adorable. Wish you could post a picture of your nephew when he sees such a special quilt. I know why you are the "favorite" Aunt. Bless you for making such a wonderful heirloom for him and thanks for sharing with us!!

    Memories quilted together make the fabric of our lives better...Great job on both sides. My first quilt was a hexagon, hand quilted, with pieces of fabric I had saved from years and memories past. Each piece a memory of it's own...

    No wonder you are a favorite aunt. It sounds like you made a lot of memories together. He will be sooooo touched that you kept these all this while, giving them back at a very special time in his new life. You truly are great and both quilts will be treasured. Thanks for sharing
