I cry as I type this. My brother-in-law passed away about 12 yrs ago now, I would give almost anything to have a memory quilt for my Hubby and 3 children. They loved him sooo much and have missed him greatly. How wonderful it would have been to give them a memory quilt. All those goofy bright western shirts he wore, and the kids teased him about. Every get together he had a new one. How great would that have been to still have those shirts in a quilt to remember every day the great time they had with him. This will be the most important quilt ever. Do it for them, they will need it. Good luck and post pics when done.
