So sorry for the loss the the baby. My niece lost her son 4 days before his scheduled birth day., and we buried him on the day he was to be born. I had completed a quilt for his room which was elephants and was reluctant to give it to my niece following Liam's passing. She asked me for the quilt anyway. She says she will wrap herself in it when she wants to feel closer to the little one. So sad to lose a child.

That is a very cute and clever quilt.
Maybe ask Mom what she thinks? (Also a difficult question - )
I think some people would be grateful that the loss of their baby has been acknowledged -
From what I've read, the loss of an unborn child is as devastating as the loss of one that has been out for a while.

I made a quilt for my grandsons and they were born prematurely and passed away. My DIL did not know about the quilt. I made her another one as a comfort quilt. Two and a half years later, the twin's quilt is still hanging in my studio on a quilt rack. For me it will always be their quilt. That said I do not think there is anything wrong with giving it to some one else. I would just not tell both parties involved.
So sorry for the mom and dad of this precious little one.
