Finishing it would be a great way to honor your grandmother, and giving it to your mother, where i'm sure it would have ended up, would be wonderful for your mother!

Imagine this. You take the quilt top, and as you complete it something bad happens....maybe not fatal, but something bad. You KNOW what your mother is going to say, and not only that, she's going to feel guilty for "allowing it to happen". You can't fight superstition. |
Is there some way to include your mother in the process? You would have quilt with the memories of three generations.
|
if it were me i would want you to finish it.
i hate having UFOs and i would never rest in peace knowing it wasn't completed. |
We would love to see a picture of your grandmother's quilt so far.
|
I say finish it.

Finish it. I am sure she will be guiding you all the way. ;-)
