Yep, that's my Dad...all 82 years young and a great helper by ironing all my seams.
The 1st quilt we decided to set on point as the blocks just "screamed" for it. Dad loves to help show off the end result and gets a kick out of showing them off.
With the 2nd quilt, I made 1/2 blocks so I could stagger the arrangement of the full blocks and made it a little funkier than normal given the brightest of it.
Be sure to keep some of your fabric in case you have to make some "filler" blocks.
