Why I make Quilts

The kids sleep under favorite quilts when they are here.
Allison has a new one here - bigger than the lady-bug-hugs quilt - and with her name on the bottom end - like in the book, The Quilt Story by Tomie DePaola. She wants to pass it on to her little girl like in the story.
The quilt is mostly yellow - her favorite color. Alexander sleeps under a quilt made for him a few years ago with help from my block exchange group. There are star blocks in the sky, boats in the sea, and fish in the ocean.
The sky area is quilted with glow in the dark thread - and it still glows!!!!
