This is a quilt i made for my father. He just loves his garden and is so creative. He collects Royal Doulton Figurines and they have such RICH royal colours, so i decided to do this quilt with them. I have also sewn a special message onto the back of his quilt relating to how i Love him and what special love he has given and shown me. Also professionally joined. I hope you also enjoy looking at this quilt.

(See I Love My Mom - if you have not seen that one already)
Thank you to EVERYONE who has already commented to my above quilt - it is so encouraging - i cannot wait to begin another one ♥)

What a beautiful colorful tribute to your Dad. I hope you tell him why you chose all the different elements for the quilt that you did. It makes it so much more special to understand all the hidden meanings you put into it. Great quilt.

I wish i could say i did the joining, but i had them both professionally quilted. Yes they did it with a long arm. Unfortunately i live 4 1/2 hours from where it was done, or else i would have asked to have watched what they were doing. I am thinking of getting an longarm myself. Depending on costs of course..... :lol:

That is exactly right. He is a blessed man, indeed. And really, you are obviously a very fortunate person to have parents who have inspired you so much!

It is beautiful!

Thank you both very much. My dad and mom are wonderful. I am very, very lucky indeed. I have also made my girls quilts. Will be putting those up sometime also. Hope you do get to see them.
