What a great story and you can't but think that it was all in the hands of God that this quilt that had come full circle and reunited old friends. I'm sure he will always cherish the quilt, all the memories that it brings him as well as what you did to finish the quilt started by his mother so many years ago. I would call it Kismet, fate, and any number of things that made this happen and that you were a part of it. Sometimes we never know how our quilts will affect the lives of those that receive them.
