    That is too cute. I was expecting blocks out of the fabric, not little shirts. Just too adorable

    That has got to be the best pattern I've ever seen to create a memory quilt for a man. Yes, please post the pattern details!

My friend turned to me knowing that I had been quilting for around 8 years. And heres what we have accomplished. She bought this pattern at a LQS, something I'd never seen until she showed it to me. And I'll be darned if I'm gonna let somebody say theres no way! So heres our progress. We get together about once a week. This is her first and probably her last quilt, so she says. But we have such a good time when we're together, I hope she catches the bug!
    Is there a pattern for this??? Please let me know...thank you so much, Naomi
