The mothers refusal to let Dee to have the quilts is a temporary change of character because it is only for a short while. She has never done anything like this because she has never had the chance to. She does it now because heard the point of view from Dee and she liked it. The details in the story that prepare us for the foreshadowing of the refusal are that Dee tells her whats going to happen to the quilt if she gives it to Maggie.
