    It's a real shame she wasn't able to finish it. But you have been blessed with a wonderful gift.

    Oh, please do finish it!! It is too precious to just store out of sight. She did a wonderful job, and it was meant for you to enjoy. Wish I had something my grandma had made.

    I am oh so scared to mess it up! But she WOULD say for me to finish it and she would love any mistakes and call them kisses. She was the treasure!

I cherish it as it's made from clothing that her family wore.
    That is a wonderful ideal!!! Thank you for sharing your story!
