    Your quilt is beautiful and it must be wonderful to have this reminder of your husband, and it looks like Leopold is guarding you and your quilt as well.

    So I embarked on making my first quilt ever. It was made with blood, sweat and tears and although not perfect "Larry' is with me when I sleep at night.

    In case you're wondering, that's Leopold on the bed. An angel dropped him off at our doorstep about three months before Larry died. He has helped me though so much sadness and has given me back happiness as well.

    Hope you all like.

    Leopold looks like his job is to protect you now that Larry is gone. Great tribute to you hubby!

    Larry's Quilt is very nice, and I'm sure he approves of it. It's obvious that Leopold likes it... what more confirmation could one want? :)
