I can so relate to your feelings. I have worked for a year and a half on a quilt for my son and his wife. It is now finished and it is going to be very hard for me to let go of it. I picked out the colors for them, the prints on the fabric, everything with them in mind, and I REALLY want them to have it, but it does feel like a part of me. I designed it and layed awake many nights trying to figure out the next section, everytime I look at it I am kind of amazed that "I did that"!
