You are doing something so special and this is truly a labor of love! I just saw your other post with pics of what you have done so far and it is wonderful!! :thumbup:
I made a memory quilt for a friends' Mom and gave it to her at a family gathering at my friends request. Her Mom, my friend, her bros. & sis's, and the grandchildren were all laughing, crying, pointing to the different fabrics and telling stories attached to the shirts (vacation stories, who gave him the shirt(s), etc.)
This quilt you are making is going to be beautiful and it will be cherished. You are putting your heart and soul into it.
