Your quilt is wonderful. I have a suggestion about taking it to the nursing home. When my father had to go to a nursing home we were told to have his clothes and other things registered at the main office. We did that. When we brought other things for him to wear the people on his floor told us they could put his name on his things. Well a lot of his clothes disappeared. We complained at the main office and were told unless they had put his name on things and had a list they were not responsible. So make sure you know what the rules are at the nursing home your FIL is in. It would be terrible to have him lose that quilt. Even the day my dad was going from the nursing home to hospice one of the workers tried to walk off with his comforter. My mother had to chase this person down in the hallway to get his little quilt back. I hope you have better luck.
