Help needed on designing a memory quilt!!
When my FIL died this past Spring, I suggested to my stepMIL that I make a memory quilt. She had already donated all his clothing (this was even before the funeral) but when she was at the lake house this summer she found a few items and now wants that memory quilt. So I have 1 t-shirt that I'm thinking could be a center medallion, 1 cotton Hawaii shirt (browns,black, beige); 1 cadet blue loose weave "silk" sports coat; a red/black tie; a red striped knit shirt; a black knit shirt; a fushia/blue/white knit shirt--and his swim trunks(which actually feel more cottony and are also Hawaii print browns/blue/beige--and a well worn fleece jacket. Since he was extremely large, there is lots of fabric--but what to do??!! I think with stabilizer I can use the knit shirts, obviously the t-shirt, tie, and even the swim trunks are useable (ditto the cotton shirt). I might be able to use the fleece jacket on the back, but since she wants any unused clothing back, I am not sure even with stabilizer, that the sports coat would work without lots of fraying, etc. But a design help would be GREATLY appreciated. OH--and despite the colors on all these, his favorite color was always purple.
