37/365 Objects: Brown Quilt

I made it for him, Triple Irish Chain, in plaids and browns from a box of fabric I inherited when my aunt died. In the blank spaces, quilted three-leaf clovers and 42's, his union local.

His girlfriend stabbed it with a knife.

I took it home to repair and never gave it back. He died in June. This is what remains.
