I think at one time before quilting became so popular that quilts were associated with becoming elderly, used for lap quilts in nursing homes. I'm learning from personal experience that no matter what our intentions, sometimes older parents think we're conspiring to put them in a nursing home.
Maybe you can make him a wall hanging instead.
