After I finished this quilt I showed it to my friends husband and new wife of 22yrs, who by the way is a wonderful person and has become a friend also. She made a comment that made me feel a little obligated to return the finished quilt to them.
However, after thinking it over I decided to keep it for myself as a keepsake of my friend who passed away. I figured it was given to me in pieces, by the family, with no thought or meaning of any value then, so why should I feel obligated to give it back now. It took awhile to come to this conclusion so I hope I made the right choice and I cherish the quilt as I did my friend.
