My mom and sister both quilt and have given me and my girls many over the years. They are all so special I couldn't pick one, so instead I have decided to share a story about a blanket. When I had my youngest daughter a friend of mine since elementary school also had a baby. She had made blankets in anticipation of having either a boy or girl. My friend had a boy, and I a girl so she mailed the girl blankets to me. My daughter latched on to one particular blanket which she carried everywhere with her for years. The funny thing about it was that she named it ABC blankie, and I am not sure why. One side of the blanket was silky and I often wondered if that is how she interpreted the word silky...ABC.
