I am very blessed beacuse I was given 2 quilts a long time ago that my great grandmother made and I left them behind after a divorce and never went back to get them. I have felt bad all these years about it knowing that eventually my grandkids got them( they moved in the house where I left them with my son)...and used them!!!!!! It was too late!!!!
