Well, it was a tied quilt and although granddaughter was just 8 at the time, she help pick out the fabric, the backing, helped sandwich and tie it. I put the binding on. After Kathryn died we did get it back. Of course we were the ones that had to go get everything from her room, handle all the paperwork, etc. My dh was POA and executor. She was a good MIL and I still miss her.
