I have mentioned before that my father died last year, and I hoped at some point to take his shirts and make quilts for my niece and nephew.(I have no biological children). My nephew, who is 11, is clinging so hard to the things my father had bought him. Such as a pair of tennis shoes-the are beyond repair, yet he won't stop wearing them. It makes me so sick the thought of bringing Daddy's clothes home and cutting them up, but I think my nephew NEEDS a quilt made from Daddy's clothes. The child needs comfort now. My niece is a little different, and mourns differently. What pattern would work well for solids and plaids, and maybe work up pretty quickly so I can give my nephew some comfort he can wrap up in at night? Thanks for any suggestions you guys may have.
