Your dad's quilt is fantastic! I made one for my brother this year for Christmas, and really struggled finding something he'd like. I used flannels (some plaids) so kept it very simple. I love your pattern, is it one you made up, or can we find it somewhere?

Those 2 blue borders are the only solid fabrics I used. All the others are fat quarters from my stash. The back is navy blue, green, black, red plaid flannel that I bought a while back with him in mind. I have a Grace frame and took two days quilting it. On the bottom blue border I switched to red thread and wrote "Zzz~Shhh~~Nap Time~~Shhh~Zzz" I also stitched "Daddy" in one brick and "Bobby" in another one. (Bobby is what all the grandkids call him)
It went together pretty quickly once I figured what rows to add.
