My Father dies when I was 9 years old. I wish someone had made me a memorial quilt like that. That is really sweet. You are so cool and thoughtful to do that for your niece. I'm sure she will cherish it for the rest of her life. I love the quilting on it. Did you do that yourself? It would take me a month to do that. That is sewing everyday all day long. What a labor of love. You did a gorgous job, perhaps out did yourself. I do that with every quilt I make. It just keeps getting better and better. So sorry for your loss. My sincere sympathy and prayers are with you every day.
