Remembrance Quilt

Finished up the remembrance quilt today, with the exception of the label.  This one turned out fine even though I was a bit worried.  Several of the shirts must have been a rayon type fabric.  They frayed and stretched a bit.  The recipient isn't a quilter and it is made from her late husband's shirts so I don't think she will mind if it isn't exactly square.

Just beautiful. What a great remembrance quilt pattern to show the fabrics and tie all of them together with the black/white four patches. A great Bonnie Hunter pattern.

Thanks Kathy. This is my favorite pattern to use for remembrance quilts.

What a neat pattern. So much better than just plain patchwork. Great job.

Thant's a great idea for a remembrance/memory quilt. Your friend will love it, and be able to wrap herself up in a quilt made from her DH's shirts.

I've just finished a memory quilt for a friend, using mainly tee shirts, and I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Do pop over and have a look at my blog.
