Memory Quilts


Yvonne and a few of her friends were commissioned to make four memory quilts for a family who lost both of their parents recently. We were able to fit two quilts on one wide backing.


Each quilt was sure to have a handkerchief,


a Lions Club, a shirt with their hometown name on it, and part of a special baseball cap.


As well as a printed photo of the couple.


I love how she used wider borders on two sides of the tshirts instead of a narrow border all the way around. It showcases the plaid and striped shirts much better.









They all turned out really nice. Yvonne shared with me the emotional experience the family member had when he picked up the completed quilts. What a special project to be a part of. Thanks Yvonne!

Love the way they put these together with the different widths of borders and plaid shirts.
