Thank you for sharing your story. My mom was a quilter and several years after she passed away I came across a box of UFOs. Among them crazy quilt squares she had made. I had a new son by then and made a quilt for him so he would have something of the grandmother he never knew. I still have a box of 4" denim squares she had appliqued and hand embroidered, along with a picture of the coverlet she intended to make. It's on my "to do" list. It's comforting to work on something begun by a loved one who is no longer here. Makes you feel like they really are still with us.
