his t-shirts were all pretty much plain or had a small logo on them. I think I have one of his work shirts that has his name on it, I'd like to incorporate that into my quilt. the bear idea appeals to me so much because I can make more of those....he has 2 sons (one of which just had a baby) so the bear made from his grandpas clothing would be awesome!
