I know how you feel but you're not killing your family. I felt that way 20 yrs ago. I could not get pregnant so I went on fertility drugs. I got pregnant and had my daughter in March. August 31 my brother was killed in a car accident. I felt so guilty b/c I felt if I hadn't "messed with nature and God"and had a baby when it wasn't meant to be, I wouldn't have lost my brother. Then about 6 mos after my bro died I went out with my sister to have a few drinks and it hit me. I didn't kill my brother, God gave me my daughter b/c he knew she was the only thing that would get me through that. It's the same thing with your quilts. The cancer was inevitable but you had the quilts on the ready to comfort.
"Keep on sewing"!
