I have been asked to make a memory quilt using the deceased T-shirts.I have a book that will be helpful with the preparation of the t-shirts and the layout, etc. My question is...mom would like me to incorporate some of her son's socks (I guess he collected them) and I'm not quite sure how to do that.I'm afraid they will un-ravel if I cut them. I thought about maybe using them in sashing or maybe a border - not quite sure. Any suggestions?? Pictures?? !
