That is an awsome quilt. It truely did turn into a swan. What a wonderful keepsake.
Sorry to hear the other quilt tops didn't make it to you. My parents went through the same thing when my father's father died. They moved in to care for him because no one else could find the time. When he passed, everyone was cleaning out his things but my parents. When all was said and done, my parents were handed a small box of trinkets.
Family can be so cold and selfish. Sorry you had to experience this.
