    Default I gave this to my 86 year old MIL.

    This quilt was #9th quilt for this year. MIL is 86 and a really loved the yhe quilt I gave her a couple of years ago so I thought I would give her another. She use to quilt but, didn't like the mess it creaated so she gave it up. She really appreciates the time and work that goes into them. Today at a Family gathering I gave it to her, she was going home and putting it on her bed.

    It's lovely! It is so great to have someone appreciate all the work that went into something, even though you didn't do it for praise. I'm sure it will keep her warm this winter.

    It's nice to give a quilt to someone who actually realizes how much work goes into it. It is lovely and I'm sure she will think of you as she enjoys using it!
