Dad's work shirts
 
1 Attachment(s)
A friend wanted to make a small quilt for each of her adult kids out their dad's works shirts. He passed away a year ago, and this was one way to give a small reminder of who their dad was. I quilted 7 of them and they were all basically alike. I'm sure they will look upon this treasure with fondness for their dad.

Cute quilt and a nice momemto for his children! I like how the different values change the look of the blocks.

Precious...turned out really pretty. Love your FMQ.... I cannot imagine making 7 of these. Ugh! But for a special memory, so worth it.

My dad had some absolutely gorgeous western shirts, I begged his significant other for his shirts so I could make quilts for my sister and I and the 3 grandkids. She told me no and gave them all to the VA. Broke my heart.

I agree, I am sure they will be treasured. How nice of you to do that for them.

What a great idea. So simple, but they will treasure their memory of their father.
