We have washed them and my sister, whom doesn't really like quilts, has requested to have the family tree quilt. I am so pelased I made these quilts for the women of my family and now have them for my sister and I to wrap ourselves in. I am a youngish quilter and these two quilts were earlier in my quilting life and I don't see the errors any longer but the love of the women in my life. Don't let perfection rob you of making quilts for those you love!

So sorry you lost your mom at such a young age. What a wonderful keepsake you and your sister each will have with those beautiful quilts.
When my mom passed a few months ago, I was pleased that the eldest grandson wanted to have her quilts. Another generation of quilt lovers!!
Hugs and prayers to you and your family.
