Was your daughter possibly feeling overwhelmed with the responsibility of using and/or finding a good home for the things she knows you love the most? (When that time comes.) When you know what you want her to do with your quilts, tell her. Maybe that is all she was searching for.
I had that feeling about the afghans I crocheted. My grandson came into this world a few years later. Now he confiscates each one he sees and will not give it up. It becomes his and he is very possessive with them. He might have 4 to 6 of them in his bed at night. He knows each of them and if one goes missing he is very upset until he finds it. He has made my heart glad I didn't quit. I have since moved on to quilting. It may be years before I crochet again but someday I will and it is someone else's problem what they do with them. If they go in a yard sale someone will get them because 'they want them'.
Passion can not be banned with words. Think how many woman's abuse centers there are. How comforting a quilt is to snuggle in and wrap us with when your world is down falling around your ears. Your quilts can bring so much warmth and love to many people.
