    My good friends husband passed away last month, so I asked my son in law to get 4 of her favourite shirts that her DH wore and made her this quilt. I will give it to her in a few months, as I don't want to upset her but she may not realise - this is from his shirts - as I managed to disguise most of them using the various shades of blue - her favourite color. Thanks for looking, and sharing in this venture of caring.

    That's a very sweet thing for you to do. She may want it now to feel close to him...it's such a personal time for her...you'll know when the time is right.
