It's hard "getting on with life" after the death of a member of your family, particularly if you were close to them. Just take it one day at a time, maybe work on your quilt 10 minutes a day and pretty soon it'll be done. I just sent a quilt as a gift that I actually had finished the top 5-6 years ago, I have two waiting that are cut out and need to put together and several more planned. LOL
