K.P. It looks very nice. The pattern is perfect for your friend's quilt. Thanks for sharing. Eiltcoq.

I LOVE the slanted stars! She will love it.

It looks perfect!

Kutnso 02-17-2011 06:53 AM

What a wonderful idea. The design is very masculine---I'm sure she'll love and enjoy snuggling with it.
Good job, Kutnso

What a beautiful remembrance for her husband, you are so talented to think of that pattern...God Bless You, Jeanne

Love your quilt so far.....it is the same pattern I've picked out to make 4 twin size quilts for myself and 3 sisters from our Dad's shirts.

Very nice. Quilts like this mean so much.

It looks great! My only suggestion would be on the other side or in one of the corners, put a heart with their names on it! Perhaps ask her for one of her shirts to marry one of his and hers in one block with their names? I don't know, however you are an angel to do that for her! Bless you!

Yes, absolutely perfect....I would love something like this, Im sure it will bring her great comfort.

brightstar_202 02-17-2011 09:14 AM

looks great like the stars and the shirt material. I thought about doing something like that in ties? But am not sure just how I want to do it. Looks Great though

Quilt4Me 02-17-2011 09:18 AM

Great looking. What about using his ties as well?

grannypat7925 02-17-2011 09:28 AM

Great! Should do the trick!

TootieAnn 02-17-2011 09:50 AM

I think it's pretty. I'm sure it will be a treasured keepsake for her.

That is perfect. What a nice gift for her

ajohn52 02-17-2011 11:31 AM

Love the star pattern. And I think it looks really good, she'll love it. Going to put the Rustic Star on my "to do" list.

jgriinke 02-17-2011 12:37 PM

That is very nice. I'm sure she will cherish it.

dinlauren 02-17-2011 01:51 PM

Nice job incorporating his shirts into a quilt. I've used the shirt fabric to sash before also. Or in corner blocks also. You are making her a perfect memory quilt.

mcdor 02-17-2011 02:26 PM

What a wonderful friend you are? Great job.

Leota 02-17-2011 02:28 PM

missmabeliowa 02-17-2011 02:45 PM

I think it's just great. You have the colors arranged nicely and your choice of pattern is definitely scrappy and westerny. Good Job!!!
