    as your gramma was a quilter i think she would love it if you finished it, if not how could it be cherished and used the way she would want it to be if it was not finished

    Ask your Mom to Please, please, let you finish that quilt. Your Great Grandmother would be so proud of you. Even though she was working on it when she passed, she will be pleased to look down and see her beautiful work finished

    It won't be an "antique" but it will be a treasured piece from your great grandmother. YES finish it, and enjoy!

    perhaps GRAMS can find no comfort and move on. she may be earthbound until that quilt is done & that's why it calls to you! FINISH the quilt,explain it to mom- afterlife calling...

    I would finish is and make sure the label says Lovingly begun by GG and the year - and - Lovingly finished by GD and the year. Honoring her work and your completion of it.

    Shoot down those superstitions!! Not to be preachy but the Bible says, "Jesus name is above every other name" (Including death), and "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". Think of those smiles in heaven when that quilt is finished.

    I would take the quilt and finish it to honor your great grandmother's memory - to finish her work. She would look down favorably from heaven and be glad the quilt was finished.
