Memory quilts


Alice was commissioned to make -count them up- SIX of these memory quilts using a deceased loved one's shirts. One for each of the 5 children and then, of course, the wife needed one too.


I really love this simple pattern and how it showcases the fabrics so well. 



I decided to quilt the red borders all the same feather design, but used a different design inside for each quilt.  Feathered paisleys for this one.


Paisley swirls.


Feathered swirls.


Scalloped paisley swirls.


Half-feathers and swirls.


Paisleys and double bubbles. 

Phew! What an undertaking these quilts were to make and complete. But SO worth it knowing they will provide much comfort and healing. Glad to be a part of it. Thanks Alice!
