Memory Quilt
I want to make a memory quilt for me with things from my parents. I have been looking at various memory quilt ideas but have not seen anything quite like the one I want to do.
I don't have clothes from my mother as she died 40 years ago. I do have a few shirts of my dad's who died 2 years ago.
I want to make blocks showing aspects and experiences of their lives rather than using their clothes. I have things like cap badges, blazer badges and bits of costume jewelry I would like to incorporate. For example, Dad was in India in the army in the 1940's so I would like to use some fabric which represents this.
I thought I could also scan some pictures and print onto fabric for some blocks too.
Has anyone made or seen anything like this? It would be nice to have an idea of how it might work.
Thanks everyone for reading this!
