Much prettier in personThis is so much prettier than the website shows, and larger than I expected, though the dimensions are given. It is thin and more decorative, than functional I suspect. I don’t know if I’d risk putting it in the washer with the delicate fringe on it, but who knows. I bought it for my 91-year old mother, and there were just enough spaces to put the names of her two children, 3 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren with appropriate blocks touching each other. I wrote “It all began with Mimi” as my words in the center block, and I think she will just love it. When you look at it with all the names, I think it really has an impact on what a loving and successful family she started. This can be a really sentimental gift and looks much more expensive than it is.
