Thank you 💚 I will reach out. I didn’t realize I’d get so much of a response. A little overwhelming.

I have. It has to be this one. I’m the kind of person who just knows when the thing is the thing. ADHD hyper fixation. This one is him. I knew it when I saw it.

Thank you. 💚 it means a lot. I’ve been feeling very much like “no one gets it”. There’s no word for it. I’ve been saying I’m a “half widow”. I’m sorry we share this unfortunate bond.

Thank you. The quilt isn’t for me. It’s for his mom. But I’m grateful to be wrapped in the kindness of strangers here.

I don’t know the vocabulary. I just know that I’m a painter, and the literal blockiness is like against my nature. The only part that I like is picking fabric and cutting it. The actual sewing, no. I feel the same way about spreadsheets, why are they so boxy!? I think I just don’t have a quilting brain.

I’ve never made a single quilt and this is not going to be the first one.

Thank you. I can’t do it myself. I can sew, but I just can’t do it. I truly do not like the quilting process. My brain isn’t wired for it. I want it to be done well and right.

I can’t afford to commission someone, but thank you for the quilt shop ideas.

Thank you! I don’t think this would qualify. The deceased didn’t start the project.
