I've been working on this since March. I had a lot of encouragement from members of this board and thought you all might want to see the finished product. I made it for my grandmother-in-law (our last remaining grandparent) who has dementia and stays in a nursing home. I hope it brightens her day. I named it Nana's Flower Garden. The block patterns are by Carol Doak and the layout is a variation of one in her book.

Very pretty quilt. I'm sure she will love it. I would put a BIG label on it that can be readily seen. Things like that have a way of walking off.

I agree that it is a very lovely quilt and a ton of work. ( I do love the paper piecing) but have to agree with putting a LARGE label on the back and perhaps even writing your name in indelible marker on back before you sew on the label. I speak from the experice of when my mom was in a nursing home. Not saying or accusing but several 'things' just disappeared! Just giving you a heads up. :-)

Grandma Bonnie

It's beautiful and I hope it brings her comfort! The label is a good idea. I know ladies in rehab homes who have dementia and/or Alzheimer's often 'go shopping' in other's rooms.

Certainly brightened my day! I know it will be a joy for her!

What a bright and cheerful quilt! I agree, it needs some kind of name tag. Things tend to get misplaced or disappear in nursing homes. My grandmother had Alzheimer's and would sometimes go into other people's rooms and bring stuff back to her room. We were always returning things.
