Thank you so much, everyone, for your kind and thoughtful words. It means a lot to me that everyone likes my quilt!!!
I didn't mean to make anyone upset (or cry) with my story. I always felt that my daughter was trying to get me to see that there would be a life for me after her dad died. And there was, even if I went into it kicking and screaming....
And I think I must have spent way too much time planning the quilt and not enough time working on it or else it wouldn't have taken me EIGHT years to get the top done :lol: :lol:
