It worked a similar way for me-I get teary eyed with good memories when I wrap up in the quilt with the flowers of all 50 states that my sister was working on. I finished it with her input for the 6 weeks she was in hospice. She was totally paralyzed, but I planned the embroidery with her and finished quilting it about 2months after she died. It is my family’s favorite quilt. I feel wrapped in her love whenever I use it.
