They should still have theirs, but it somehow seems unfair to leave them out. I was also thinking of giving them the designs above. They are close in age and often play together. I would give the 2 that are the closest in age (different families) the top two and then the littlest nephew the bottom one. I want them to know which are theirs, so I don&#8217;t want to duplicate the designs.<\/p>\n<p>Still if I give those three away when they have already gotten them, I have to make three more.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27836\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27836\" style=\"width: 153px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSCN0251sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-27836\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSCN0251sm-153x300.jpg\" alt=\"Halloween Pillowcase\" width=\"153\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSCN0251sm-153x300.jpg 153w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSCN0251sm-524x1024.jpg 524w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/DSCN0251sm.jpg 920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 153px) 85vw, 153px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27836\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Halloween Pillowcase<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I think the Halloween pillowcase needs to go to the youngest niece.
