This will be the first row of the memorial quilt I'm making. The squares are from my friend's sons clothing and I added the side pieces. This will be for one of his sisters. I've got most of the pieces cut out but had to play around last night and today to see how it was going to look together.
What do you think?

How kind of you! This is going together nicely!

I like it! The sentiment behind it is lovely and makes it very special. Lets see some more :D

Lovely

Looking great so far. Your friend is going to be very happy.

Thank you all! The pattern calls for 6 blocks in a row (8 rows) but I'm seriously thinking about just doing five in a row and 7 rows.One reason is she asked for quilts the girls could take in the car with them and another is I'm afraid i won't have enough material! I've cut up most of what she sent me already. I think doing the quilts smaller I can just squeeze two from what I have. This boy and my oldest dd were in the same homeschool group for years until we changed groups. They were the same age. Really hard thinking about that!

Looking great so far!!
Sorry to hear of the loss of your friends son.
I couldn't imagine losing a child.

I like it!!! Keep up the good work....I like doing memory quilts for the loved ones....I have been told by some of my recipients that it helps with healing from the loss.

Bless you for doing this for the family . It is very thoughtful of you !

Better to go smaller and get two then make one bigger and then run out of fabric . You are doing fantastic :thumbup:

What a wonderful memory quilt. It is wonderful of you to do this for them. I can't wait to see the finished quilt. That is a wonderful pattern. Thanks for sharing with us.

What a sad, sad reason to make such a beautiful quilt. I hope is family finds some comfort in your efforts. Job well done.

looking great

what a lovely gift of memory you are giving them. I think the blocks look great, hope to see the complete quilts.

looking good

maybe you can make your blocks and see how many you have

sew cute

What a great gift, youre really sweet! I cant wait to see more!

There is playfulness in this quilt. Although so sad in memories, I suspect there will be smiles, too. Thank you for being generous with your time.

Love the blocks. You might be able to use a coordinating fabric (plaid) for blank blocks in between if you run out of fabric. Or sashing between. Just a thought.

I agree with Pam - a sad reason for quilting - but I'm sure this quilt will be loved.

Wow!! I think it's great, sweet idea to do this.

Sorry to hear of the loss & I am sure it will treasured forever.

It's very nice!

very nice quilt..will be loved for sure.. :thumbup:

Looks great so far!!

(((HUGS))) It is so sweet of you to make these for them (((HUGS)))
I love that pattern, it is more whimsical for children :D:D:D

Those are great looking wonky block.

that is gone to be beautiful. and you are a speical lady for doing that. God bless. Penny

My daughters coworker asked her if she knew anyone to quilt & my dd said my mom so anyway she wants me to make her a memory quilt using her daughters dresses & baby clothes! But not to cut up the clothes! Have any suggestions?

Marytp a Qt like that will be hard to make, Leaving the dress whole, not cutting up, you could sugjest sp? useing a foundation. top stitching a half dress, that you will need to cut away the back half to use as boarder and or shashing to fill in the empty spaces. you could use a star as a Qting template or a cross or butterflys as angels. just a thought.

great!
