I can see why you are sad but I have to agree with liont's comment. Lucky couple to have such a beauty.

No that one would never leave my place lol.

That is a very beautiful quilt Mary!!! Very pretty colors!!

Yes, It is hard to let some quilts leave my ownership. I had to make a long hard decision about a quilt this past week, my favorite and one I am extremely proud of. I knew my brother liked it and I battled back and forth as to whether I should keep it because it was my best work and I loved the results or to give it to my dear, dear brother. Well, I gave it to my brother Thanksgiving Day for his birthday. He was close to tears when he understood that it was for him to keep and not just me showing off my latest accomplishment. He returned it to me and asked that I put a pocket (sleeve) on it so he could hang it. That brought me to tears. His first wife was an exquisite quilter and her quilts grace his home. Mine will now hang along with hers. (When his wife passed away, I got her stash, books, tools and I have been inspired by her work.)

Bottom line, It is very hard to pass some quilts on but I still get goosebumps when I remember his face and the hug that I got for giving up what I wanted and allowing someone else to enjoy my quilt.

That is a beautiful quilt. I have no attachment to mine, it's all about the process. Only one exception so far, backed with a hospital blanket used by my late mother.

Beautifully done!

All of them. We all put our heart and soul into our creative measures...no wonder!

Beautiful quilt. i am sure who ever gets it will love it.

I can see why you were sad to see it go. It's beautiful...full of my favorite colors!

I'd feel like you. This is truly a beautiful quilt but at least it's staying in the family.
