I so agree, Amandasgramma! When my mom passed we went through all her things to empty the house for sale and found quilt tops she had hand stitched together, some she had machine sewn, and some she had bought. Didn't matter a bit to me...I wanted my share and am now sandwiching them and loving every minute of touching something she put together or loved enough to buy.
Take the quilt to the family ASAP.

I agree, contact them now. It will definitely be a comfort to them and if it was me I would want to display it at the funeral.

What more can I say except I am sorry for the families loss.

I agree with the majority here in that the family will probably find comfort in having the last quilt she completed & had quilted. Thank You for being so thoughtful & kind hearted. Some LA'ers would just be focusing on the money. {{{{{HUGE HUGS}}}}}

Want you all to know I did get the quilts to the family and they had them on display at the wake.She had 23 grandchildren and had made 23 baby quilts and it was my pleasure to quilt them all over time.May she rest in peace her work was done.

I agree with others that the family will want to know about the quilt now. I was working on a quilt for my mother in law when she passed away. I buried it with her. Unfortunately she didn't know I was making it. It was to be a surprise, but it was in her favorite colors, so I thought it should be with her.

Ditto... Let the family know... and maybe even suggest that they might want to display it... it's my opinion that it would be a tremendous comfort all around.

I agree. It might also be really comforting to them to have the last thing she was working on.

Approach them with the thought that perhaps they might want to display the quilt at the funeral, but if not, let them know you will contact them later on, when everything is settled.
