I am so very sorry for your loss. Sending gentle hugs to her whole family. What a wonderful gift you created for her and how marvelous that she appreciated and loved it. Whoever decided it was to be used in lew of the spray of flowers understands what a special thing the quilt is. And I am very happy that it will come home to your husband where he too can love and appreciate it everyday. It sounds to me like your mil lived life every single day right up until her death.
