Default Memorial Quilt from Husband's Bandana Handkerchiefs

I just finished this top--the person ordering it hasn't seen it yet, but wanted to share. Her husband died several months ago and she wanted a quilt made out of his bandanas. She had sketched how she wanted the center. I used the 10-minute block for the rest of the top. The border was from left overs after cutting the squares to use in the blocks. I used plain fabrics for the center diamonds and for the narrow borders. I hope she is pleased. I am pleased with how it turned out and my guys thought it was good!

Anyone with that collection of bandanas would have to be a very nice man with lots of personality. I think your customer will be very pleased with the quilt.

The quilt worked up nice using the 10-minute block...
