Maybe I should have been a little more clear about this. First it is a "He" & he had just had open heart surgery, this was almost a year ago. I was just getting into sewing/quilting. He did ask for something more like I want to do now, but at the time I told him I had no idea what I was doing, & I still don't know much. This is why he said to just make something simple when ever you can. Well a year later I really want to make a quilt closer to what he described. He will be having knee replacement surgery in the next couple of months, so I want him to have something nice & warm while he sleeps in his recliner.
