Very pretty quilt. Don't worry about her memories. While my mom was sick, I worked on a quilt that I was sure would remind me of the many hospital days and her terminal illness, but today it's a reminder that I did everything I could for her and while the work was hard, I am now grateful for every moment. She will appreciate the quilt and remember that you were there when she needed a friend at a difficult time. Now that her mom is recovering, the quilt will a reminder that difficult times do get better.
