What a great quilt to celebrate a great person. And thanks so much for sharing the story behind it.

The picture would not have the meaning without what you call "the long explanation". I lost my Dad on Sept. 19 and cried thru the whole story. As I write this I am still tearing up. What a beautiful sentiment to a gracious lady who from all apparent explanation, raised a fabulous son into a wonderful loving husband. What a beautiful gift.

A wonderful quilt to go with a wonderful story. And I am sure Marlene was a great lady!! Your hubby is going to love this one! Love the fabrics you have used. And the fact that every block tells a story! AWESOME!!

Your tribute quilt is awesome and I am sure that your DH will treasure it always. Rosie is adorable. I grew up with Shepherds and miss having one.

What a wonderful gift not just for ur husband but for the whole family! I agree you should add a journal of what the blocks mean but over the holiday have family members pen stories about her for future generations! What a thoughtful wife and DIL you are!!!!

What a lovely tribute, and meaningful to both you and your husband. I'm sure you'll think of her fondly every time you see your quilt in your forest paradise!
