I posted a few weeks ago that I was asked to make a small quilt for the DD of a lady Who had passed away,who I wasn't super close to but considered a good friend. Such a wonderful lady. Her DD saw my pic. on FaceBook of my quilts. Wanted to know if I knew anyone who could make a quilt from Her moms Clothes. Since I really thought alot of this lady I said yes. then she ask if I could do one for her Sis. I said yes, then emailed and ask if I could do one for her Bro and Her stepdad, SIGH!!! I said yes I would do small ones. I told her what kind of material the clothes should be.Mostly cotton or blends. OK here is the problem...... I got this hugh box 2 days ago via ups... Some cotton and blends. but mostly knit shirts and Tees. Denium pants,jackets,shorts. I was going to do a nine patch. Don't see how I could. So got her on chat FB and told her I could do a crumb quilt. the differences in the thickness shouldn't be to bad. NOOOOW with the Tees in the picture, COULN'T I USE A FOUNDATION LIKE THE DRYER SHEETS on the whole quilt? I am not spending any money on this, so I don't want to go buy something, like fusible or muslim. So out there would a foundation of dryer sheets with pieces of each shirt,tee pants Work? There is even some sweats in the collection.. I have made the crazy quilt before, no embellishments, but it was cotton and cotton blends. Since she wants 4 they are going to be small say crib size or smaller, they will not be used it is just for them because they miss Her so much, would it be possible to use the denium pants legs as a binding would that be to bulky? DUUUUH!!! Help me please!!! :shock: I know there is a difference of oppinion abt. dryer sheet use. But I have used them on 2 quilts and one is 5 yrs. old no problem. I wash them in a special bag with bleach and detergent then dry them in dryer still in bag and Iron them out. Got a lot of them saved. So please give me some opinions I am starting tomorrow. Love this board just haven't been able to be a part of it for a good while just have been so busy haven't had time. working in garden, taking care of mom. moveing my youngest Back in with me!!! No comment!! :roll: :lol:
