Default Tee shirt memorial quilts

A year ago, my BIL passed away very unexpectedly. He was wonderful man with a great sense of humor and a huge heart that always had room for one more. He and his wife had 3 sons. She asked me to make tee shirt quilts for each of their 3 boys. There were only 10 shirts per quilt so I added some embroidery and novelty fabrics to tell some of the stories he always told. He told his grandkids that when he graduated high school, he got a peanut butter sandwich wrapped in a road map. His also told them that all he had to play with was rocks and sticks. Popcorn was his favorite snack and Feb. 2 was his favorite holiday. He loved GTO cars. I had to add all that too. My nephews are in their 40's but I received tearful phone calls from each of them. They treasure the quilts. Thanks for looking.
