I have spoken with my son several times about the project and shown him a sketch of what I had in mind. I'll find it and scan it in to share. His work is still in strips and short combinations. I'll take some photos to post. While he's a bit of a perfectionist, he also respects my artistic ideas. I do a lot of drawing and he specifically asked for a certain style of animal representation that I've done in the past, so that part's easy. He liked my design, I'm just stuck on how much to alter his work. I won't be using the whole thing, but rather pieces and parts and I believe that I can make even the flaws work with the final design. I do like the idea of taking a picture to remember his work as he did it. I think that I will make a small scrap book that documents the quilts making from Dad's early work to Grandma's finishing work to show our granddaughter what we can do and to show that even though something seems too messed up, it can be turned into a treasured piece with love and patience. By the way, I did make another quilt that is completely Grandma's work for the nursery. This one was designed based on my daughter-in-law's preference for bold colors and a non-babyish design.
