you do not know that she would not appreciate it, she may absolutely love it and want to keep it with her forever. a gift of love is simply a gift...once i give a quilt it is no longer mine and i can not stress over whether or not the person who now owns it takes care of it the way i would, it is not up to me once i give it away.

If you make her a quilt, you will know that is was done out of love in her time of need. I don't know about you, but I could live with that being enough satisfaction even if she did not appreciate the quilt the way I would hope. God Bless you both.

If we wait till things are appreciated before we do them we are missing the boat. Do good things and don't worry about appreciation and credit so much. Just do it becuz it is the right thing to do!

I agree with PStoner a gift is that something you give from the heart and after it is up to the person who received the gift. I bet she would appreciate it.....a suggestion make it a very simple quilt maybe a nine patch or four patch quilt nothing to elaborate but simply made with lots of love.
