My mother in law who was 93 passed away on Sept. 30th., we are going through her things and I was given a lot of her sweatshirts and tops and few pair of jeans to make quilts from for the family. I have never used these type of items before and need some help in making sure I don't mess them up since they will be treasured by many family members...could you folks help to get me going down the right path? Many sweat shirts and tops have flowers, and scenes on them so I wanted to use that part in the quilts. Of course the sweat shirts are much heavier then the tops and jeans so that's another issue I'm not sure about. Please, any help would be appreciated.
