daughter's healing block
 

My daughter lost her grandpa this year, to help her with her grieving process we decided to make a quilt with blocks that remind her of her grandpa. He loved coffee and anything sweet. We still have several blocks to add, hopefully we'll get it done soon.

Here are a few more of our healing blocks. She has really enjoyed putting these blocks together.

What a wonderful idea. She looks pleased with it.

Nice start. I love the coffee cup block.

Can't wait to see it all together. I am sure that she will treasure it forever. :)

What a great gift you are giving her. Won't it be nice to snuggle under the quilt and remember all the special times with her grandpa!

She is so sweet looking. I'm sorry for your loss. Its never easy loosing someone you love. That's a great idea for a quilt.

Your daughter and the blocks are both wonderful.

What a sweet idea and a wonderful way to remember him! Your daughter is adorable!

What a wonderful way to honor his memory. I love the process your using to help your daughter through her grief and to remember all the good things she remembers about him.

Looking good. This will help her sort out her feelings as well as bring back pleasant memories. Good job, Mom.

that is such a great idea. I still have memories of my grand parents which I lost so young. This quilt I"m sure she will treasure forever. Must she will treasure the memories of the bonding between mother and daughter more.

My Daddy said "that the mug had to be big enough to put your nose into it". If not, the coffee was not worth drinking ! Beautiful daughter and experience together making this quilt. Hugs

This brought back memories of my grandfather passing. He died 3 days before I graduated from high school. We were very close. I think losing him bothered me more than anyone else in my life. I think what you are doing with your sweet daughter is a wonderful idea. God bless you both.

My Dad died unexpectly this spring. I was a total wreck. He had lived with me for 15 years and was in Florida visiting. I wandered around for a few days and went to console myself with my quilts. I have a top my Grandma (Dads Mom) made and decided to work on it. I had been doing laundry and just hung up all his flannel shirts. I cut all the flannel shirts into quilt and am in the process of using them to back the quilt. Some days it makes me cry and other days it helps to have him here.

great idea...She is so cute and looks like she loves what is done...

I love her smile, and the quilt blocks can't wait to see what else you add. Sorry for your loss

perfect with the coffee mug, and she looks so happy , proud, and sweet showing it.

Great idea for a special quilt! :)

Very nice and fond memories.

Great idea to let her find her own memories in the quilt. It also provides a good time for the two of you to talk about him

Awesome idea....can't wait to see the completed quilt!!!

This is something she will remember all her life, making more memories about her grandpa. Good healing process I would think.

Adorable blocks

looking great an cute little girl!!!

What a great way to remember her grandpa and ease the pain of losing him. Please show us when it is finished.

That is a wonderful idea! She is doing a good job! Very nice blocks.

how sweet. That's so good to do positive things with her to remember him by and make it easier to go through it.

What a great idea! I hope you post the quilt when it is finished.
