How nice!! Enjoy your new stash and projects!

By all means keep one for yourself. You can make others to give away. It'll all come out even in the end.

I agree with all of the above 100%.��

Sounds like the lady had a serious stash! Enjoy every bit I say.
|
Sounds great, but instead of charity, I would finish one and give it to her husband.

I agree. Keep it to remind you of the generosity of others and to give you a smile whenever you look at it. She had a wonderful husband who knew what to do with her 'lovies' instead of just dumping them in a store.

My MIL was a prolific charity quilter. When she passed, her church wanted us to have a couple of the quilts she had made that year, since the quilts were for comfort and we were in need right then. So we kept those quilts, since they meant a lot to us. I had even helped her with design on both, since she always had a quilt out for design "help". Anyway.
In return, I made a quilt of my own for the church donations. My plan is to make 2, but haven't decided what to do for the next one. So if you like the quilts, keep them. If you feel you need to make a quilt for charity, make one yourself. Her quilts will have more sentimental value to you than to the charity recipient, but the charity recipient will still get a quilt. And I also like the idea of finishing one of the quilts for her husband. But you may not even need to do that, because I'll bet he already has some of her quilts that she specifically made for him. Good luck! |
I'm sure she would love that you kept the one you wanted and donated the other.

In among the other things was a lovely signed and dated cross-stitch sampler, I returned it to the family. Turned out they had a child born that year that never got to know her grandmother and it would go to her.
