My gran always left the most important thing to tell us to when we were leaving, just to keep us a few minutes longer.
The quilt even if WIP will keep her wrapped in love when you go.
I agree with all the loving comments posted but I liked Dottymo the best. Give it to her unfinished and when you visit her, you can work on it and enjoy each other's company!!
PS I would baste the border before doing the binding then there won't be a problem when you get back to hand quilting the border. Good Luck !!
