I had a difficult relationship with my mother. She has been gone 10 years, but I still don't want a memory quilt. Probably never will.
A comfort quilt from you lets her know you care and are thinking of her. Sounds better to me.
My relationship with my mother was always poor and continued that way to the end. No memory quilt for me, ever. I was definately not her favorite child, so I would end up remembering that everytime I looked at the quilt. So the quilt would probably get "lost" in the wash and go to the place where missing socks so.
