I love the idea of making a lasting item from a loved one's clothing. I still have some of my Mom's shirts I plan to use. When I make my grandkids (4 of them) quilts I always try to put in a piece of her shirts - so she will always be with them. Sentimental I know....but my way of keeping her memory alive.

That is priceless. I wasn't a quilter when my late husband died, something like this would have been such a treasure to have. (I kept his clothes for a long time and would hold and smell them. I'm sure others can relate.) Blessings to you for doing such a wonderful thing for your friend.

I love the plaids! There's a lot of ideas out there for quilting with plaids!

Thank you!

Very nice. I asked my Mom to start saving my Dad's work shirts as he wears them out. I hope to have enough to make one that he can enjoy too.

She will have so many memories of him when she snuggles with this quilt. So nice of you.

So pretty, must have been a very sweet person. I can just see a smiling, kind hubby wearing these colors. Do know this will bring many hours of comfort to his wife.

You are so kind to do this for her.

So thoughtful of you and so special for her.
