I made 2 memory quilts for friends out of their father's ties. I just wish you could've seen their faces. No matter what patterns you use they are going to love it. One of the friends hung the quilt on the wall on her side of the bed so she can see it first thing and last thing of each day. She hung her Dad's favorite hat on the rod that is holding the quilt. I am so honored to have been chosen to do these quilts. They hung one of the quilts at his service. They were finished before he passed. He had retired and wasn't wearing his ties any more. So he got to see the quilts. It created a another wonderful memory for the girls and their Dad.
The quilt is going to be greatly loved and you are not going to mess up. I promise.
