I'm making my mom a quilt for her 80th b'day. right now it has 4 squares - let me back up - she has 4 daughters all married 3 with children 2 with grandchildren; dad died in 1997 just after they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Mother has had 2 husbands and several 'men' in her life since dad died. The one she is married to now is her exact opposite and to make a long story short we don't like the present husband they keep breaking up and we are really mad she hasn't divorced him but has taken him back - again - for the umteenth time. Ok enough venting. My delima is the theme of the quilt is family. I have 4 squares made one for each daughter with their children, grandchildren and even step children. I am including picture of the squares along with a 5th square that has the poem i'm using. I want to include my dad somewhere - they were married 50 years - but do not want to include all the other 'men' that have been in her life since dad died any suggestions on how to include my dad? actually I'm only putting pictures of 2 of the squares and the poem so you will get the idea. the plan is to put the poem in the middle and the other 4 squares around 9 squares all together with blue strips between the squares. the blue for the strips is the blue used on the flower with trevors name and the last picture included here please look and see if you can help thx
