So sorry for your loss. Losing a child is about the worst thing that can happen to anyone, I know. It's a great quilt and I love how you set the blocks in a wonky design. If you had not mentioned it, I would not have noticed your "mistake". The Amish say that they always put a mistake into every quilt because only God is perfect. God bless.

I'm sorry for you loss. I would offer it to the mom any way. I knew a woman who lost her baby at 36 weeks and a friend of her was crocheting an afgan for the baby and still gave it to her. She kept a memory box and it was in there. Every time she thought of her daughter she would pull it out and hold it.

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.

My daughter gave birth to a still born baby boy, Daniel. He was early and I hadn't finished his quilt. She called me the night she came home and told me she had given birth to a baby boy and came home with only a box. The hospital fixed boxes with pictures of the baby and a few other things. She asked if I would finish his quilt. My grand daughter told me a couple of months later that her Mommy sleeps with Daniel's quilt. I believe it gave her some comfort. She had a very difficult time. Daniel would have been 7 this September. We always do something on his birthday to remember him.

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.
