I am so sorry to hear about your son I personally know how difficult this can be to go through. I did eventually make a quilt of some of my sons clothing to give to his brother. It did take me almost 14 yrs after his death to be able to do this. I tried to start it many times and would end up huging his clothes to my chest or burying my face in them and crying on the floor. I know this quilt will mean the world to you, but my advice is take your time don't try to do it before you are strong enough to take some pleasure in what you are doing in his memory. God bless you and your family.
