My father-in-law passed away on July 12. We had made him a quilt and posted it here (titled "Pop-Pop's quilt" ). We didn't know how short his time was as we were working on it, but he loved it for the short time he got to use it. When we were planning the funeral, we decided that since it was done in LSU fabrics, and he loved the quilt so much, that we would use it with the family's flowers. Several people commented on it and it was a great comfort to Kimberly and her mom. Her mom has the quilt now; we don't know what she will decide to do with it. We suspect she will keep it since it was never more than a few feet from him for the last 2 months of his life, and most of the time he was covered with it. Obviously I think it is a fabulous and very personal tribute.
