I love your idea. Even if the quilts are finised as the lady wishes, she will have time peices of the history to look back at. For her the value may be in enjoying the quilts by using them for display or on a bed knowing she is viewing a peice of her mother daily.
Now personally being a history buff, I wouldn't want to have them finished until I spoke with someone who is an expert in the preservation of textiles who can tell me how much importance they hold.
