Our friend, Tyler, was killed in an auto accident in March. Here are some pictures of the quilt I made for his family. Members of our parent support group contributed blocks and I designed it and put it together. Lots of love and tears went into this one. The girl in some of the photos with Tyler was killed in a car accident in March, 2009. Double sad.

What a beautiful quilt! I've shed many tears over the memorial quilts I've made and at the same time found great peace. You did an outstanding job.

The memorial quilt is wonderful! I cannot even imagine his families loss - he was born in between two of my children and can't even imagine the devastation.

What a beautiful memorial to both of them. I too lost a son in an accident, and I can tell you that this tribute will be loved beyond words.
