Congratulations on a lovely work of art. I'm sorry for the loss of your mother - our mothers are usually the overriding influence in our lives and when we lose them, it leaves a huge gap. This quilt will encourage pleasant memories of her.
Do you know if this pattern is still available? I'm not much of a TV person and don't even have cable, so pardon me if I sound weird for asking what/where HGTV is (truly, I didn't just drop in from another planet!).
