This is so very sad.
Wouldn't it be fantastic if the winners of the quilts turned around and just outright gave back the quilts to her children. To me, it doesn't seem 'right' that the quilts should belong to anyone else but her children. I understand that this notion is just 'wishful thinking,' but I can't help feel so badly for the family to have to part with her quilts to be able to afford the cost of her assisted living care.
