Default Did you ever wonder what happened to your quilt when the recipient passed?

I made a very cute, happy lap quilt for a dear aunt several months before she died. She had no idea that I quilted and was overwhelmed to receive it. She kept saying, "I can't believe you made this." I know that she treasured it. After she died, I 'assumed' her daughter or granddaughter took it but, no one ever said anything to me. Shame on me, I didn't put a label on it so I am not 100% sure they knew where it came from although they probably did. I don't want it back and hope they will keep it as a treasured memento of my aunt. I've thought about asking the daughter (my cousin) about it but, not sure if that's appropriate. At the time, I wasn't a very good free motion quilter so I wonder if they might have discarded it however, it was nicely pieced and constructed and I really can't see them doing that. The design was very cute. Have others had similar experiences?
