What a gift of sharing. If she had finished it, you could not have finished it. It would have been just "Mom's quilt." Now it is Yours and Her quilt.

Love the way you finished this quilt. Your Mom would have been so proud! It's beautiful! And BTW, I'm a huge fan of simplicity...and you honored this so nicely in the way you did this quilt.

Beautiful. And you are right, perfection is not necessary. Art isn't perfect

I'm sure your dad appreciated the quilt. I'm glad you could see and understand your mom and aunt for who they were. It takes all kinds to make this world turn. LOL
