So sorry for your loss also, someone's comment earlier, reminded me that when my husbands mother passed away in 1997, we found her fabric stash afterwards. I still have her seersucker...just can't find that anymore...but I found two large bins of fabric that she pieced planning to quilt. I also finished three of her started quilts; made two baby quilts for great-grandaughters, and then used up pretty much what was left in a bed quilt for us. Most of this activity happend in the last three years. So you may not know what you want to do with your mom's stuff for a while. Pack it up and let it wait for a while!

This first quilt Mrs. Sandusky made with seersucker, front and back, I finished it by bordering it.

this one she made out of light weight fabrics, flannel on the back, and I bordered it.

these were all squares that she had already made, and I sewed them together, backed with flannel and bordered. I gave it to the first great-granddaughter.

Finally, after two baby quilts given away, I used up the rest of the squares to make our bedquilt, backed with flannel and tied.
