I'm so sorry that you lost your mother. But it's wonderful that you have so many projects of hers that you can finish. Don't feel bad about keeping some of them for yourself. She would have wanted you to have something from her too.

What an amazing legacy. These quilts are all wonderful and you are wonderful for finishing them and giving them to siblings and nieces/nephews. Don't forget to keep something nice for yourself. Your mom would want that.

All your mother's quilts are beautiful, and deserve to be completed for her heirs. You can always have a
"drawing" as they are finished.

Wow that's a lot of projects! It's wonderful that you can continue and finish your mom's projects. And you're doing a great job too. I'm sure she's smiling down on you.

Your mother let you/your family alot of treasures to remember her with. May she RIP.
The same incident happened to me about a year ago. DH's oldest sister had alzheimers so I inherited her stash. Wow..what a mess to go thru, but I found some UFO's that I am trying to finish.
I also have some made by his grandmother. I wish they would of put tags on these quilts, as I have some all wool quilts + others that his grandmother made back in the 1930's. I am just curious to know who and what time they were made.
I am presently trying to finish these ufo's tops. Its a job.

In looking at your Mother's quilts, I can see where you got your talent! Your doing a wonderful thing in finishing her UFO's and passing them on to family. Your Mother would be so pleased and proud that you cared enough to do this. Sharing the love is what it's all about!
