I might be wrong but I think Aurora turned Lily into a statue first, then hid the mantle inside her.
Bad Alias:
Is there something that makes you think that, or is it just an impression?

I seem to remember that is how Harry explained what happened to the Summer Knight mantle after the murder, but it has been a while. At no time was Lily the Summer Knight, so that is the logical explanation. I don't have time at the moment to find the actual quote.
Mira:
Okay, here is as close as I can find to what I am talking about. Summer Knight page 295 Harry is about to get the Unraveling from the Mothers.
--- Quote ---"Hold it, hold it. Look, as I understand it, this power of the Summer Knight, is his mantle, it can't exist on its own. It has to be inside a vessel."
"Yes," Winter murmured. "Within one of the Queens, or within the Knight."
"And it isn't with one of the Queens,"
"True," Summer said. "We would sense it, were it so."
"So it's already in another Knight," I said. "But if that was true, there'd be no imbalance." I scratched my head, and as I did it slowly dawned on me. "Unless it had been changed. Unless the new Knight had been changed. Transformed into something else. Something that left the power trapped, inert, useless."

However you are right, later Harry tells Aurora that she killed the Summer Knight, but the mantle in Lily, then turned her to stone... However one would think even if it were almost instantaneous that
Mab or at the very least the Mothers would have been aware.. Yet the Mothers forced Harry to figure it out instead of just telling him.

Maybe only the Mothers can sense it. Is "we" the all the Queens or just the Mothers? They also imply, but do not state, that they wouldn't feel it in a Knight. If that is the case, perhaps there is a way for a queen to direct the mantle without it first being in the queen. Maybe all the Queens knew that the Knight had been changed into something else already because that's the only thing that could have happened, but no one bothered to tell Harry.
