How lovely. Wonderful tribute for your husband. May it bring your joy and happy memories.

I love your design, too. Very similar to 2 t-shirt/memory quilts I'm about to make for my niece and nephew in memory of their dad (my brother.) I'm so glad to see your design - it shows me my idea is going to work.

Blessings!

​Great memory quilt!

You have made a beautiful memory quilt to comfort you and those that loved him. I love these shadow blocks anyway but the name sure fits this project. Hubby's Shadow....

Molly, that is a wonderful idea for a memory quilt, I really like it. Sorry for your loss!

What a lovely memory of your husband. Well done.

Has to be so nice to wrap up in memories! I like your pattern and color choices! My husband passed last year and my step-son took all of his clothes, I’m not sure why. After 20 years I have many memories, sewing is wonderful therapy!

meyert 03-15-2019 12:22 PM

I love it! that's a great pattern and the quilt turned out great!

Beautiful memory quilt. Love your shadows. So sorry for your loss. Hope you are doing ok.

JustAbitCrazy 03-15-2019 02:38 PM

So sorry you lost your husband. That can't be easy. You made a beautiful quilt with those shirts. I'll have to remember to use the shadow quilt pattern for a memory quilt. Now you can wrap up in it and get one of his hugs.

SillySusan 03-15-2019 03:51 PM

What a beautiful quilt! I'm sure it will bring happy memories! May God bless you with His peace.

NikkiLu 03-15-2019 05:13 PM

Great design - would not have thought of it myself - hope it brings you nothing but good memories.

Grandma Peg 03-15-2019 07:11 PM

Sorry for your loss. What a great quilt to have for memories off your husband.

I’m sorry for the loss of your husband, but you’ve made a wonderful memory quilt to treasure and remind you of him. We’ll all see him again someday!

NT66 03-15-2019 09:31 PM

molly, that is a great quilt! I'm sure it took many many hours.
You should be very proud of that! =)
Sending blessings your way...

If you don't mind sharing....what size are your finished blocks?
I'm assuming the block is the shirt, the shadow and the two white corner squares.
Then put together with white sashing as well.

molly oldham 03-16-2019 03:51 AM

Thank you everyone for your sweet comments. NT66, The squares are 5 inches and all the white and dark strips are 1 inch., finished measurements. Jenny Doan at MSQC has a wonderful tutorial for this quilt called "Illusions"

SusieQOH 03-16-2019 05:19 AM

Molly, what a wonderful quilt you made. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Very pretty. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your husband.

Painiacs 03-18-2019 04:56 PM

I'm sorry for your loss, my condolences to you and your family... I made quite of few memory quilts after losing my son. I took his cologne and sprayed his quilts before giving them away so they smelled like him too. Gave family and friends comfort. Plus helped this mom grieve and I talked to him as I sewed..

joyce888 03-19-2019 01:48 PM

Very nice memory. Sorry for your loss.

Teen 03-19-2019 07:18 PM

I think this is one of my favorite memory quilts I have seen here. Really lovely....may it bring you comfort.
