Lovely, beautiful and attractive. I guess none other gift would be as good as this one and that also in such an age. What else a person would want if he gets such a precious and in fact priceless gift from his kid. Your father is not only the one who liked this, but this community also liked this quilting work.Its really great.

It is a wonderful quilt. Thank you for sharing it. We all learn from each other on this board. your quilt will inspire some, it will solve a problems for others such as how to incorporate photos with special fabrics.
So always post your quilts and projects. I saw a microwave bowl on this site. I have made close to 30 of them for gifts and they are such an appreciated gift. I thank that lady and say a prayer for her everytime I use mine.

That is fabulous. Don't kid yourself, nothing that any of us do in life is perfect. The love behind this more than makes up for perfection. What a tribute to someone you love!! I can only imagine how delighted he was to receive this.

Never be afraid of showing your quilts. We are all here to love on you and praise you for a job well done! Your quilt to your Dad touched me and almost made me cry . There were some tears. The quilt is lovely and perfect and love the design!

I just started quilting in January of 2010, I made this for my Dad's 85 birthday that year. It's a pattern of my own design, it has pictures of his ship in WWII, I listed all the battles he participated in, there's a picture of him as a 17 year old sailor in 1942. The back is a fleece with a Naval insignia. My Dad loved it, I know it's not perfect but it's perfect to him. Thank's for looking.
