I did memory quilts for 4 of my grandkids for Christmas. Their dad died of cancer 3 days after Christmas last year. Each quilt had their special nickname their dad had given them. Many of the patches were from his pjs. I also included blocks with golf, and black labs, both part of his life. I painted the logo for the Red Sox on a block and also the Mason's symbol. Finally I added the pocket and logo from his work shirts. Inside the pocket I put butterflies (butterfly kisses from heaven). Although the kids are young, when they unwrapped them, the immediately wrapped up in them. They call them their Daddy blankets.
