She knows you finished. I know all about wanting to pick that phone up and have the number dialed then realizing there's noone there. Thats very painful :( I lost an aunt who was sometimes like a mother to me and other times a big sister. Its been almost 3 years, and I still find myself wanting to dial her number to tell her about stuff that happens. My mom tells me all the time she would be so proud of me, making quilts. She was the crafty one in the family, she could make anything.
Your quilt is absolutely beautiful :)
