It's a beautiful quilt and so glad you got it done and can give it to your dad. Make the most of whatever time you have with him.

That is beautiful. Did you use the 60 degree triangle ruler to cut your pieces? I would love to try something like that.

Yeah! "Christmas in July" ! Gorgeous quilt - it needs to be used and appreciatel now, instead of stuck in a closet for months.

Great idea. Your quilt is gorgeous.

That is a beauty. You Dad will love it and it is a labor of love to make something for our special people. I'm sorry about your Dad, it is always so difficult to see our loved ones suffer in any way. You will brighten his day.
