I made a quilt from my Dad's clothing when he passed away 22 yrs ago. It was a clothes
line with shirts & bib overalls hanging on it which is what he wore 90% of the time. There was a lot of applique ( flowers, vines, dog, toys,basket etc.) & each bib had a mini quilt block in it. I absolutely loved working on it as it provided a lot of time for reflecting on sweet memories. I gave the quilt to my grandmother who packed away her first borns clothing remnants and then returned it to me as her health started deteriorating. I have pieces cut out to make a 2nd quilt for myself but after receiving hers back, I never finished the 2nd one. Maybe one of these days.
