"There is only one reason why all grown-up people do not play with toys; and it is a fair reason. The reason is that playing with toys takes so very much more time and trouble than anything else. Playing as children mean playing is the most serious thing in the world; and as soon as we have small duties or small sorrows we have to abandon to some extent so enormous and ambitions a plan of life. We have enough strength for politics and commerce and art and philosophy; we have not enough strength for play."
-G.K. Chesterton, 'Tremendous Trifles'

Wow that was an amazing achievement by your Mum, & what a beautiful quilt. There is such a huge amount of work in a quilt and also a great deal of love goes into them, so how lovely for you all to have one of her quilts.
I use to follow your moms blog and was always amazed at the lovely quilts she made. Amazing accomplishment that she was able to make that many quilts after her diagnosis. Although I did not know your mom, I quickly became aware via her blog of her amazing talents. I loved to look at her dogs also.
