Oh myyy goodness. What a wonderful group of people on this forum. Thank you all for the great ideas and suggestions. It looks like I now have some homework and research to do. Great, great ideas! I'm going to my daughters house tonight to help her install new doors throughout her house. (give me a hammer and a nail and I can install some doors, give me a needle and thread and I'll need a box of bandaids). I'll start picking out the pictures this week and looking for a quilting quild in our area. Its supposed to be in the 80's tomorrow, so maybe I'll go to the beach, sort through he pictures and do some soul searching as well. I learned a long time ago if you want someone to love it with all their heart, then you have to put all your heart into it.
Thanks again for some great advice and I'll be sure to post the finished quilt when its done and I'd like to include everyone's user name along the edging if thats ok with all. The more people looking over him the better.
Thanks ....Ron
