Thanks folks, I hope he likes it. He has been asking for one ever since he saw the one I made for my granpa, (years ago). I don't mind in the least if he takes it with him where ever he goes, if it gets dirty, it can be washed, torn and it can be resewn...as long as he feels it's a wee bit of home he has with him, that's all that matters.
Anyway, this is my granpa' quilt...(waiting to hear Kat on this capbadge...LOL)
