Such a bittersweet story. Given with love and discarded without a thought. I agree with MelissaK that if a recipient has never done anything of the scale of quilting (especially hand quilted), they have NO clue as to the time and effort involved. And this one in particular must have been difficult for the aunt to do with her health condition. Still it seems that DIL should have been humbled by the gift of love, particularly when she has had so little of it in her life. Thankfully Ducky was in the right place at the right time and will cherish this beautiful quilt. It was meant to be.
