My deaf-blind grandson has had a blanket since he was three when he was adopted by my daughter and son-in-law. She asked if I could salvage any of it. It was not much more than a rag. The four whitish squares with the black redwork type designs are the original blanket. I tried to use designs and fabric that an eight year old boy might like. My daughter told me that when he wants to "see" anything, he takes a picture of it with his i-pad and then enlarges it to full screen. This is my first quilt and I can certainly understand why so many people enjoy this craft. I may even sew more of them in the future.....
