Wow, I have never heard about the wartime quilts, either. What a loving effort. I wish I could sew (and sing) but I don't know that I have the patience for it. Like many families, we have hand-me-down patchwork quilts but most of them are functional rather than artistic. I love the 3 of your quilts you shared. Just lovely pieces of art and labors of love. My favorite is the one on the left. Such soothing colors.
I am so sorry for the loss of your son. Such a tragedy to lose a child. Thankful you discovered quilting to help you through that very difficult time. Hope you can find the perfect way to get your quilt toppers off to those who can really benefit from their loving warmth.
What a touching story, @Jennifer, thanks for opening your heart and sharing it and your grief journey with us. I’m always humbled by the healing power of handiwork - quilting, knitting, embroider, and have definitely experienced it my own life, as well.
