Infinity Quilt
 

My SIL requested a special quilt. The wishes were purple, simple with no flowers and an infinity symbol somehow used. As I was leaving, she trust a pair of worn fleece pajama bottoms at me. Her dad died recently and she really misses him. Could I somehow incorporate these pajamas into the quilt? It took me a while to come up with a design. I found a tutorial on utube for the infinity part, but because of the size request, I had to make four of them and join it. I chose a batik purple and contrasting grays for the stripes. The use of the pajamas took a little longer to figure out. I decided to make machine hearts and made a row of them. It feels kind of soft with the fleece hearts. I forgot to take a picture, but I did make her matching large pillows to tie it all in. It was a big hit and she cried when she saw it.

Very nice! I'm glad she was pleased.

beautifully done

Wonderful quilt!

The plaid hearts are a nice touch!

I think you hit the 'mark' exceeding well. I think you incorporated the requested elements beautifully. And, I am glad that it was so well received after all of your hard work.

Very Beautiful...this is just gorgeous....

what a lovely keepsake!

Lovely quilt and your quilting is fantastic!

I can see why she cried, and was so pleased with it as are you. It turned out beautifully. You inspired me to keep in mind using some fabric I cut out of my parents clothes after they passed away. I will be able to use some of it for maybe a special pillow for myself and my two sisters.
Also, your quilting is very nice.
Thank you for sharing this.

That is such a nice creative use of the pajamas. When I was reading, I had a flash of asking"how on earth is she going to do that?"

Love your designs front & back!

Very nice, great job !

Wow ! You took a difficult task and nailed it!!!!!

Awesome... you did a great job with that! And it really touched your SIL, which is what matters most. :o

What a heart felt and well thought out memory quilt. And it is so attractive!

Wonderful quilt. Great idea with the hearts.

Very nice quilt and love the way you incorporated her dad's pj's. A heart is so symbolic of love so I am sure this will feel like her dad is giving her a hub. Beautiful quilt and creative idea. Thank you for sharing this story.

nicely done quilt , like the hearts are a very special effect

A wonderful quilt for your SIL. Great work.

Very nice!

Everything about this quilt and the story is wonderful. BrendaK

You worked a miracle with this quilt! QuiltMom2's comment (When I was reading, I had a flash of asking"how on earth is she going to do that?") is exactly what I was thinking. It is perfectly beautiful.

Oh my, you did a great job! You found the perfect design to showcase the flannel. I like how you framed the hearts with the purple,too.

That is amazing! I love the way you incorporated the hearts.

Nicely done. The back is wonderful.

I love your pattern and the fact of using her dad's PJ bottoms for the hearts. It made it special

How very pretty!

Great memory quilt!

It's beautiful!!!

wow...nice job on front and I especially like the hearts!
