Give the original quilt to your friend.. She will cherish it.. I am a mom of A wonderful downsyndome child... I would have loved it if someone gave me a quilt for my daughter...
Don;t be afraid...
I went through the heart problems as well ...
Krystal is now 26 and Loved by all. By the way she loves quilts.
so I say Give the gift of love to your friend..
I love the idea of writing down the story...and giving it with the quilt...
