Default memory quilt

This quilt is for a friend at church who lost her daughter to MS. She gave me her pajamas to make a quilt for her. I usually make rag quilts for memory quilts but pajamas would not work for a rag quilt. It literally took me a year to figure out what to do with the pajamas. I wanted the quilt to be feminine, floral, and beautiful. After doodling many things, I chose dresden plate. I only purchased white & green fabric for the front and floral for the back. Everything thing else was from her pajamas. It came out much better than I could imagine. My friend absolutely loved it. It does my heart good when I can do something to comfort someone who has lost a loved one.
