No not weird at all! My boss, who I also consider a friend, recently found out she has breast cancer. I wanted to make her a lap quilt to take to chemo and since I only see her once a month I presented it to her the last time I saw her........unfinished! It was pieced, sandwiched and 1/2 quilted but she didn't care, in fact she was so touched I had to leave the office for awhile so she could compose herself. I honestly think it was appreciated more because I was able to present it in person. Finishing the binding today and will mail tomorrow and she will receive it in time for her next chemo treatment. Not that I wanted to see her cry of course, but it meant a lot to both of us, I think, to give it in person.
