Such thoughtful gifts. You have certainly welcomed your soon-to-be son-on-law to the family. I wish all of them a long and happy life.

The t-shirt quilt is for the son, obviously, lol. The wedding quilt represents their commitment to God, family and their work together thru 12 step programs. The windmill blocks are to represent the wind being always at their backs. The 4 squares of fabric in the outer border represents their children and their interests. I put eagles on the back and told them from me that it represented for their family always to work and grow together and to always be the wind beneath one another's wings.
This was my first time to meet the fiance' and he had tears in his eyes and he pulled up his shirt sleeve and showed me he has an eagle tattoo on his forearm.

The quilt isn't wavy like it looks, it's just not being held up nice and straight.
Awesome personalized quilt! A family treasure for sure! Glad the fabric worked out!
