Sorry to hear about your husband. I still missmine and he died more than 20 years ago! It is good to see that you are giving your children and grandchildren of remeberance of thier dad/grandfather. I'm sure they will cherish the quilt that you are making for them. I wish I was into quilting when my mom dies, I could've used her clothing for quilts for me, my siblings and her grandchildren. I do have a jean jacket that she used to wear that has worn out, so I'm making it into a car quilt for one of my nieces - I'm sure she'll appreciate it. She doesn't know that I had the jean jacket from her grandma, so it will be a surprise for her and something special for her.
