I made a quilt for my mother in law who recently passed away from Alzheimer's. The quilt was always on her bed and if she was ever taken to the hospital the quilt went with her. When she passed I asked my husband what the family was planning on doing with the quilt. He told me it was up to me since I made it. I chose to kept it. I know that nothing will ever replace her but just having the quilt makes me feel close to her.
