I love your quilt & your attitude. The comment you made about how she pulled things apart made me wonder if she might would like something with some knobbies on it - like the baby quilts with the folded ribbons, snaps and other things she could undo or just tug on. It is so difficult under these circumstances for the family. My heart goes out to you and all the family. My aunt went through a similar problem in her latter years. For us, it was wonderful that she had moments of lucidness up until the very end. Not many, but a few. We were all so grateful for those few.

Such a thoughtful and loving thing to do. She must be quite a lady. No matter her reaction I know there is somewhere in a part of her brain that appreciates your kindness.
