Dear UBE Quilting, the question was - from another quilter- what would her dead grandmother have wanted as compared to what her living mother was afraid of. We all make decisions on our own priorities. Perhaps some of our priorities are to honor our living mothers at least some of the time.

Do you have any old letters or diaries that would back up the notion that she would want her SBS to be completed? You could start the "conversation" by framing one Sue, making an exquisite wall decoration piece, and win favor from your other relatives... let the persuasion begin!
