Default Wrapped in Love, my Dads shirts.

In November 2017 my Dad lost his battle with cancer. When I came home to USA after his funeral in England I left most of my clothes and filled my suitcase dads shirts, this quilt is the result.
I made it for my mum who is coming to visit me in September and she has no idea what it looks like.
I finished it in January 2018 but only now feel ready to post a picture of it.
Can you guess what his favorite colour was lol.

That's beautiful and precious. I'm so sorry for your loss. You have done a very loving thing with your dad's shirts, and I'm sure your mum will draw much comfort from being wrapped in them by your quilt.
