Oh my goodness, thank you all so much for your lovely comments. I know we will cry buckets when I give it to her but we will be happy at the same time.
Thank you for your stories and Im so sorry for you all who have lost someone dear, it is such a terrible thing to go through.

I made a quilt of my FIL's shirts with the help of my GD who was 10 at the time..we tied it together and Em had the honor of giving it to MrOk's sister. Yes tears flowed, but it's in her living room now and she feels just a bit closer to her dad when she cuddles in it. And my GD learned something about giving from the heart.

What a lovely tribute to your father and a memory maker too. Now, you are giving this to your mum. Did you keep some scraps for yourself and maybe a throw size of this same quilt? You are a wise women to bring home his shirts and to then be careful of yourself by waiting to post until you are ready. You will have her in puddles when she gets this quilt.
