What a wonderful tribute to your husband's friend. And a wonderful thing for you to do for those grieving. I especially like the shirts you picked out for the wife...very feminine with the bandanas for sashing. Kudos to you for your creative and caring endeavor.

Very nice quilts and you did a fantastic job. You are a very thoughtful and a good friend. Those quilts I'm sure will bring them comfort for a long time.

What a wonderful idea. I spent many days and nights sitting at football games and track meets with my boys and your quilts would have been wonderful to wrap up in.

Very great idea - I like how you added those extra touches. Question - how do you quilt this? Do you Stitch in the Ditch and leave the t-shirt part unquilted? Just curious. Thanks. Teresa

I did not quilt this at all. I put right sides together, sewed the flannel backing on, left about a 6 inch opening and flipped it right side out and then just whip stiched the closing. Believe it or not, it's very stable.
