Memory quilt

This is a quilt I recently completed - a memory quilt, done at the request of a friend of a friend.
The front ( squares and strips) is a combination of pieces of the person's shirts, a star design made from his shirts, and a rainbow spectrum border. The stars and the rainbow were significant symbols to this person.
The back ("Zero") was special to this person and his family as well. I had a bit of difficulty with the shiny silver fabric for the letters and star, and I was also concerned about how that part would wash. Post quilting wash - all good!
The quilting which you may not be able to see, was done in a "heart-within-a-heart" design that was chosen by the family.
The design was a collaboration between myself and the person who asked me to make this quilt. She is very pleased with how it turned out and has plans for who she is gifting it to.

And as with all my quilt pictures, the "obligatory" husband hands and feet are present! LOL!

nicely done, i like the masculine look

Very nice work, sounds like it will be very meaningful to the recipient.

Great team work. Well done to your co-operative hubby.

You have made a fine memory quilt which should be a great elp to the grievers.

Super. BrendaK

You certainly went out of your way to please your friend & her friend as well. Great job. I especially like the
colorful border addition.

I love how the bright border sparkles in the background of the quilt, making the whole thing so interesting!
