You're very loving to do that for your co-worker. And though she didn't get to see it I'm sure her sister will cherish it as it comforts her in her loss.

The butterfly is apt. It is also a symbol for eternal life.

So thoughtful of you to give it to her relative. I'm sure that they are thankful that you thought so much of her to make the quilt. Bless you for your concern.

It's beautiful, and I'm sure her sister will cherish it!

I am so sorry about your coworked but what a wonderful tribute to her for her sister:)

you did the right thing.God rest her soul. I made my Dad a quilt for christmas and gave it to him early before Thanksgiving because he was always cold. He loved the quilt, I bought it to the funeral parlor to put in his casket and because he was a WW2 veteran, the funeral director said he could not have it showing in the casket because of the american flag, so he opened the casket and covered his legs with the quilt. The day of the funeral they took the flag off, I pulled up the quilt to his chest-I was so pleased he will be warm now.
Thanks for listening - I am beginning to cry, gotta go.
