The photo was one that his daughter changed her avatar to on FaceBook, so I know she loves this pic which was just taken at Christmas.

Wonderful gift. I am sure they will appreciate having the quilts.

BTW, do you teach your method?

WOW, what a tribute.

How very thoughtful you are. It made me tear up and I know Paul's wife and daughter did the same. I can not think of a more wonderful way to remember a loved one - what a cherished gift you gave them.
