Ditto. This is what it's all about. We just never know what effect our words or deeds will have on someone. She will now have a bit of her mother with her. As the quilt her Mom made for you was given in love you have returned it tenfold to give to her grandchild. You are special to do this for her and your daughters are special to let the quilt go. God bless you all. BrendaK

I think that your quilt is as lovely as your cousin. Her daughter will be very please with them both.

What a nice thing to remember. I've recently learned that a friend I had long ago - and we lost contact due to moving - held onto a baby quilt I made for her son, who's now 32! It still looks like it was fresh off the quilting frame...! I'd forgotten about it completely - she will remember this always!

Your gesture to give her the one her mom made and one you made is the best gift you could give

They are both precious. You are an angel. My mother passed away six months before my daughter had her first baby. My sister gave my daughter the last baby quilt my mom had made. We all cried. It tears me up now too. Your gift will be cherished. I hope you update us.
