Thanks everyone for your kind words and the encouragement! I went back today to find out what her DD had to say about it, and she was thrilled with it! She didn't care about the bleeding spots any more than her mom did (did I tell you how sweet this lady is?). The teenaged DD even slept with the quilt last night, and here in Alabama in August, it's hot! The DD wanted to put it up for a keep-sake, but she may sleep with it for a while so she can feel closer to her late DGM, as they were very close while her grandmother was alive.
