I made this quilt for Bob Whalen after he became a member of the Rochester Veterans Writing Group. The triangle in the middle is a replica of his 13th Armored Division shirt patch, which he wore during WWII. The outside blocks are called kaleidoscope blocks. Bob became a father figure to me. He shared his positive attitude with everyone he met, had group lunches at his home, and always had a compliment waiting. He left us at the age of 95. I miss him deeply.
I am a retired grandmother that grew up in western New York state, left for 25 years, and am now back in the area. I happily live with my husband and two cats. I am pro-military, food, family, and quilting. I am con-exercise, insulting commercials, and lack of common sense. I have met some great friends through this website.

Thanks Robbie. He was indeed a special man and making his quilt was a priviledge. It is now displayed at his son’s office in Buffalo, NY.
