Something that you can wrap around yourself completely. King sized, backed with something soft and cuddly. Perfect for those especially hard days.

I wish you well, with this project and with the journey overall. I feel like many others: you could never betray Maddie! I hope that you’ll know when the time comes.

(I'm glad I read through the comments first before posting, so I could just say "yep, that's a good one" instead of posting it as if I was the only one with the idea!!) This kind of quilt would work both for using as a comfort item, and for hanging on the wall as a tribute (tapestry). Or, you could use the front logo parts for a wall hanging, and make a second quilt with the back pieces to use as a lovey for you. This is what I was going to suggest, too.

Maybe you could make it big enough to go on your bed and you could cuddle up in it, nice way to remember Maddie. I also agree there is no right or wrong, maybe keep a small box of a few of maddie's iconic outfits and a few special toys put it somewhere safe but where you can access it should you want to touch, see, and remember. Then make a pile of Maddie's clothes and toys that you'd like to share with Binky if Binky is a girl, and donate the rest. I think maybe giving some of Maddie's things to Binky is a small way of having Maddie in Binky's life. I can see her looking at a photo one day and saying "here I am when I was smaller wearing one of my big sister's dresses" and being proud to say that.

That way, whether you have a boy or girl, Maddie can be a part of the new baby's life. Once the quilt is no longer needed, it would make a great wall hanging, sort of like Maddie watching over her little sibling. Just a thought. Sending hugs your way....
