I recently made 7 quilts from 15 shirts sized 3XXX and 73 yards of muslin. My Uncle Gary passed away and my Aunt asked me to make 7 quilts for the family. I can't say they were all spectacular, but the family was very happy to have them.
How special! And truly a labor of love. I am sure your family truly appreciates what you did for them in making these quilts.
