My sympathy to you and your family on the loss of your cousin.
I'm glad that your top was found amongst her things and that now you can complete your room.
I agree with what was said previously that quilters appreciate the importance of the top.

Okay, I'm going to try -- I promised I would post pictures -- I've tried three times -- but never let it be said I didn't persevere.

Okay, I got them this time -- somehow, when they were previously re-sized, the small format wasn't saved. That's okay, I've learned how to perform this task!

No one knew where my quilt top was -- my cousin became quite a "hoarder" and the quilt top was well hidden. I sadly had almost accepted that the quilt top was permanently lost. This is the top for which I had made a matching bed skirt, and pinch-pleated drapes, with a pinch-pleated valance for a complete re-do of one of the bedrooms in our house. Losing the top was a real blow!
Well, I spoke with my son's cousin (who is handling wrap-up of my cousin's estate) tonight and she tells me she's found the quilt-top (and the backing I had also sent) and is returning it to me! I am really Happy that the lost is found! And, yes, I was shouting with joy! Woo Hoo!
