Hi everyone! I'm planning on making a quilt, and I'm in the design stage. My mother-in-law showed me some of her quilts that her grandmother made her, and they had patches of her and her brothers' shirts from when they were children and I thought that was really cool :-) So I want to incorporate some of my dad's plaid workshirts and my great-grandma's old nightgown.

Anyway, this forum seems really amazing and helpful, and I would love to start posting here! I'm so impressed by the quilts everyone makes!

Here's a picture of the quilt I'm designing. These are basic color ideas, I'm hoping to find some pattern fabric with the same general color scheme I'm looking for. The pictures will all be appliqued. Any ideas and/or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like it will be a beautiful quilt.

I really like quilts with symetry. This is a nice design.

I venture to say that it will be beautiful when made. I like your design.

Very pretty.

I love your design and can't wait to see the finished quilt

Thanks everyone! It seems like it will take a really long time, but I think it will be worth it :)
