It's a beautiful quilt and so glad you got it done and can give it to your dad. Make the most of whatever time you have with him.

Your quilt is beautiful and I'm sure your dad will just love it. I vote to give it to him now also.

That is beautiful. Did you use the 60 degree triangle ruler to cut your pieces? I would love to try something like that.

I did that for my dad last year,Christmas in July--I would go for it!

Yeah! "Christmas in July" ! Gorgeous quilt - it needs to be used and appreciatel now, instead of stuck in a closet for months.

Great idea. Your quilt is gorgeous.

That is a beauty. You Dad will love it and it is a labor of love to make something for our special people. I'm sorry about your Dad, it is always so difficult to see our loved ones suffer in any way. You will brighten his day.

It is beautiful - and the thought behind it is as well. I would give it to him now and let him enjoy it a little longer.
