That is too cute. I was expecting blocks out of the fabric, not little shirts. Just too adorable

That has got to be the best pattern I've ever seen to create a memory quilt for a man. Yes, please post the pattern details!

She bought this pattern at a LQS, something I'd never seen until she showed it to me. And I'll be darned if I'm gonna let somebody say theres no way! So heres our progress. We get together about once a week. This is her first and probably her last quilt, so she says. But we have such a good time when we're together, I hope she catches the bug!
Is there a pattern for this??? Please let me know...thank you so much, Naomi

How cute and what a wonderful remembrance.
It is very good of you to help with this project. I'm glad you are both having a good time.
