These were a few of my first blankets, I made one other but my father is sending a me a picture. These were made of my friends late mother's clothing.

What a special way to pay tribute to our loved ones.

My friend picked her backing based on what each of her children liked, so it didn't match the quilt but had very special meaning.

Thanks guys! I was wondering what method did you use to attach appliques and designs to your quilts? Do you use a stitch or special foot or iron on? I'm wanting to learn what is most popular and best quality.

Amanda, what a great memory quilt!
I usually use heat and bond lite or wonder under. Then I satin stitch around the applique.
Have fun with it...watch some tutorials on utube and get creative!
