I've done that, years ago I made a quilt for an elderly aunt, it was one of my early quilts. After she passed away in 2001 I kept the quilt thinking one of these day I would add more quilting, it had the bare minimum, I was still learning. So several months ago I decided it is time to work on it, searched the whole house couldn't find it. Thought I had lost my mind, luckily a few weeks later my out of state daughter sent me a photo of our great grandson, in the background was that quilt! I had given it to her when we were moving, totally forgot.
