What a great quilt. Love the buttons. Your mom and pop must be very proud of your talents!

SEVENCUBS your gift of the quilt is the nicest design I have ever seen for such a project. I hope you make a few squares for a smaller quilt -- even preemie size -- so you'll have something to touch after you give Mom her quilt. My dad passed away seven years ago this month and I made flannel quilts incorporating a few of his shirts. I smile whenever I see certain plaids. This is very comforting.

Piecefully yours,

Very nice gift for your mom, she's gonna love it.

jbsstrawberry, thank you for your kind words. I am sorry for your loss as well. I'm sure you miss your brother very much.
I have not yet gotten the cloths from my daughter in law. I'm hoping she will be able to turn loose of them. She just sold his car a few weeks ago. I am waiting for her to give them to me but I will probably be like you are and not be able to do it for a while. I'm hoping to be able to get two quilts out of the shirts as he has two daughters. They are still very young, but I hope to be able to give them each a quilt made out of their fathers clothing when they get old enough to know what it means.
Let me know how yours turns out when you get it done. :-) :)

What a loving tribute to your Dad. Your Mom will cry, but it wll give her so much comfort. I sure it gave you a lot of comfort working on it and remembering memories of your Dad wearing them. You are such a good daughter, I'm sure your Dad will be watching over when you give it to your MOM. Beautiful job.

That has got to be the best gift one could receive--and make. She will feel loved by you, and wrapped in his arms.

You are terrific.

Thank you ...Dear friends for your kind words,they warmed my heart!
I will post a picture of mom and the quilt in a minute. It was a very special time of remembering!
I do hope to make a mini quilt for my brother and I.

joyful-noise, and Lisa, loosing a loved one is so hurtful. I do think loosing a son would very hard!! But do make the quilts, and yes, if you are like me the quilt will be spladdered with tears but it helped the hurt!
Here's Mom

Your mom can hug it at night.

Oh, what a treasure!
