I don't have anything to add to the wonderful comments already posted.
I also inherited my mom's Sunbonnet Sue pieces. She had the pieces cut out and was never able to finish the quilt. I look at the pieces and am reminded of all the sewing she did for us girls when we were at home. I recognize much of the material as being scraps from our dresses.
Hopefully you can find someone in your area to use these to make a quilt, or a couple of lap quilts. I encourage you to frame a Sue and a Sam. Wonderful keepsakes that you will enjoy later in life.
God Bless.
