Kim's dad takes kidney dialysis 3 times/week, and is always freezing during and after the procedure. He has a "go bag" that includes a couple of blankets, but he is finally getting a quilt. Hopefully this will be all he needs. It has a fleece back, and has batting in the middle. Quilting it was a dream, and there was almost no lint. Binding was a different story.

He is a huge LSU fan, as he pastored in Baton Rouge for 20+ years. I have negative interest in sports, but of course we razz each other about my alma mater, UT Knoxville, and LSU. I intended to put an orange block in this quilt somewhere, but Kim put it together too fast and I didn't get to do it. All of his grandkids call him Pop-Pop.

Thanks for looking.

Binding this thing was a BEAR

I like the fleece back - may have to do this again.
