    Great idea using jeans for binding. It will really hold up well to 'boy usage' and so will last for a very long time. Good thing to keep grandma close while growing up.

    Thank you everyone for your kind words

    RuthiesRetreat3 - - my sister's name is Ruth. made me smile when I saw your post

    Ellen 1 - please help me understand what you call "quilt a little heavy" I would like to do all that I can to help this hold up. I will be putting flannel on the back and use Warm Company's Warm and Plush batting

    I appreciate your input

    I am empathetic about the loss of your sister. I also lost my only sister to cancer. Though it has been 22 years, I still miss her. I think the making of memory quilts for her grandchildren will bring peace and hopefully inner joy. Your sister would have loved your generosity. Just think about one day at a time-that is all God gives you in your walk of life.

    So sorry for the loss of your sister. Her grandson will love to cuddle in this quilt for a long time, I'm sure.

    Meyert, I'm so sorry you lost your sister. It must be hard to do this but you are doing a great thing for her grands.
