I would certainly finish it! Grandma would want you to do that.

It is meant to be finished and it is not by chance you now have it to do just that.

I finished my moms. It helped me threw my grief to have her work so close to me.

I would finish it. I feel that that would honor my GM's memory.

Mom has the quilt, and I don't know where she has stored it. I think for now I will respect her wishes and plan to finish it someday.

I agree with this. While it will be wonderful to finish and cherish something GG worked on, it is your current relationship with your Mom, who is alive, that is important now. Some things can just wait. Enjoy your Mom, mine has been gone for more than 20 years.

Finish it! If you die when it's done at least that's one less wip your family will have to worry about. GG would have wanted it finished by YOU.

I was working on a counted cross stitch piece while sitting beside my father when he passed. It is now finished and framed and is my most treasured piece.

I agree whole heartedly. Finish it. Grandma will be smiling on you as you work on it.
