When my Mother died back in 2004, the trunks held 8 quilts. Since there were 8 grand children, I pulled them out and put numbers in a hat and on the quilts, then each one pulled a number. My one nephew who already was married and had lots of quilts from his wife's family, asked to return his quilt for one of the trunks. I thought that was fair so I allowed it as executor. We did the same with the dishes in the china cupboard. My neice returned the antique blue and white and asked for a modern piece. I loved the blue and white so that was okay with me because I was willed all of them. Kids of today do not want good china, silverware and stemware. I was told if you have the space, keep all the dishes, etc. that are of less value now, and they will be of value later on. What goes around, comes around.
