Great suggestions! Thank you so much everyone!

Date of birth? Marriage Date? Husband's name? Kids names? Grands?
With only mild/moderate dementia, these might be good reminders for her,
or give visitors things to discuss with her.

The flowers definitely make the quilt look more interesting.
Plus they make it look like you put more time, care, effort and love into making it.
Yes, as you can tell I am voting for the floral version!






Good thought .... you may want to make sure that they are well stitched in place, as sadly dementia patients often are "pickers" and could soon have the flowers picked right off!

I agree with the suggestion to add her name ... on the front of the quilt in large script. Nursery homes are notorious for things to disappear. The flowers are a great addition. She's going to love it!

Love the addition of the flowers! Definately add recipients name in a prominant place on the quilt.
