I have made many many memory quilts....it takes time to put the colors together that you want from the available clothing...lots of time cutting apart and prepping the fabric ...ironing starching and then to plan the pattern of the quilt with the amount of fabric you have gotten from the clothing...but its well worth it when you see the eyes of the person its made for..I made 43 memory quilts from lap size to king size for one woman alone...took me 14 months
