I have made several memory quilts and while they can be a challenge I felt a bit of reward realizing how much quilts would be cherished.
When we lost my sister to cancer I found pictures that were of her with her grandchildren - one by one. Then the shirt she had on in the picture I cut in large enough pieces that it would recognizable in the quilt. Then I put the picture in a frame and gave the picture with the quilt. I just hate the thought that their memories of their grandma will be so limited and hope that the pictures will help keep the memories alive
