Quilt Envy!

We're waiting semi-patiently for the birth of our fourth grandchild.  Our younger daughter Lisa is expecting her second baby boy any day now.  We've had one false alarm and now are all trying to pretend that we aren't anxious or anything.  One of the things I do to keep myself busy is to quilt.  And each of my two daughters' pregnancies has been filled with my making quilts for the new babies.  I also always want to make a quilt for the older sibling too, so there is no feelings of quilt envy.  HaHa. 

With my two older grandchildren, that might actually have been a bit of an option as they seem to keep track of how many quilts each has and have been known to ask for a quilt if they think they haven't gotten one for a while.

Jack who is expecting a new brother any day seems to have a different view.  He's only three so things may change but so far I haven't seen him ever use any of the quilts I have made him.  Recently I presented him with a  quilt for his third birthday which is one day before his little brother's due date.  I carefully backed it with minkie like fabric which is similar to the blankie he uses on his bed so that maybe he would like to use it.  I dragged it out and showed him the alphabet on the front and how soft the back was.  Nope! Not interested.  Ok, maybe no more quilts for Jack for a while.  I make too many for each of the grandchildren anyway, but I personally think that you can never have too many quilts.
