Default memorial quilt for my niece

My brother passed away in March of this year. I went to Texas for the memorial service. My brother had one daughter. She was going thru his things and gave me a sack full of his neckties. I had to think about what I wanted to do with them. This quilt is what I made. It will be in Texas for Christmas as one last gift from my brother to his only child.

The two blocks on the bottom, I embroidered his name on one and his birth date and death date on the other. I had 28 fan blocks and needed 30 blocks to complete the setting. I hope she will like it.
