As the others have said...no, not selfish at all. I think it's very sweet.
|
It would have never occurred to me to think I was selfish about something like that. If the scraps are all you have of your grandmother's quilts then I would have never given any of them away at all.
|
I think it's a wonderful idea!
|
Don't even fret about it. Keep the scraps and make a quilt for you and grand kids. They are needed there now.

Well said!

IMHO I feel she would want you to keep these blocks for yourself and her loved ones.

You are not being selfish at all! This last batch of fabric will have much more meaning to you and your family, keep them and make them into wonderful memory quilts of your grandmother. If you still feel guilty (which I don't think you should!), go out and buy some other fabric and make an equal number of charity quilts and donate them in your grandmother's memory!

The scraps are yours a lovely gift from someone you love. As they are the last ones you are going to receive I say make yourself and those she loved gifts from the heart. Enjoy making them keeping and giving them guilt free.

I think she would be thrilled to know how much you value the "gifts" she sent you! These will be the last ones, so you deserve to keep these in memory of her and all the work you've done with the others.

Doesn't charity begin at home? Be kind to yourself and your family. You're all grieving.
|
I don't think it's selfish at all. It would be a wonderful keepsake for you. Plus, if you don't and all of the fabric is gone, you will regret not having anything that was hers.
