My mammaw was a quilter. She also had 12 children. She had planned to make an Irish chain and put each of her children's names and birthdates in one of the plain squares. She never got it done. So, as her health began to fail, I made it for her in lap size.

When she died my DIL suggested to one of my aunts it would nice to display at the funeral. They did. Afterwards it was offered back to me. One of my aunts loved it so much I gave it to her. Now a few of my aunts and uncles want me to make them one!

I agree that I gave it and it is no longer mine. I am glad to know my aunt treasures it. Made more sense for her to have it.
