yes, my father died on 1/1/97, and as a quilter myself, I wish I had saved his shirts for a quilt and jeans for a rag quilt. I made a rag quilt with my husband and son's jeans. I love it! Son's are grown now, and I still have several pair for another rag quilt. When I need a hug, it's nice to snuggle up with it. My baby is now 33 and older son 39. Boy does the time fly. Make a quilt now, before it's too late!
