Your quilt will be a wonderful reminder for her of the experiences they had together! I just finished an "African" quilt for a SIL from Ghana. My husband and I had so many thoughts about our recent African trip that it was a bit hard to give it to him!!!! Yours has more pictures and will be more like a memory quilt! Your Auntie will be hurting, but this may give her some wonderful memories to treasure. Great quilt!!!!
