My mother passed away 5 years ago but she loved Asian items too...her favorite thing to do was to go to Chinatown in Philadelphia, PA with her grandson - they would shop and eat their favorite Asian foods. So I made her a beautiful quilt from Asian fabrics...where was it everytime I looked for it? In the closet so it would not "get dirty." It was the perfect size for her to cover up with while watching TV or reading but she never used it. I gave it to one of her granddaughters after she passed away. (Do not know if she uses is or not since she moved to Tulsa not long after but I hope she does!)

I think this one will go to my SIL. She quilts also and loves Asian like my mom. I think she would get the most pleasure out of it. And since I have the final decision on disposition of mom's things, that's what I will likely do. She has 4 daughters and 2 granddaughters so it will always have a home!
