Absolutely, lovely. So often I see the D4P as in the smaller sizes such a baby or lap quilt and it really beautiful as a larger quilt. Beautiful choice of colors.

Sometimes they get dirty, so in the wash they go and then on any bed that comes along. We have learned the hard way. Hopefully your quilt is in a safer place where things don't go missing! Just a warning.

Thanks for the warning. It has her name on the label, however she is very independent, the resident librarian, still drives through Atlanta (several states away) to visit her kids, delivers Communion to residents, does her own laundry etc. so it should have many more years in her care. Then if, by the grace of God, it is "gifted" to someone else to keep them warm and comforted, then so be it. My mom on the other hand is getting dementia and will turn 90 in October. I plan on making her a bed sized churn dash quilt with the same wishes for love, while it is in her care. That's all I can hope for.
