Widow's Quilt

I started another memory quilt today, after much debate regarding which pattern to use.  I ended up using the old tried and true strip twist pattern.  This is for a lady whose husband passed away last spring.  Made from his shirts.

Yellow was his favorite color and he had one solid yellow shirt.  I think it adds a nice punch to the plaids. Not bad progress for only  about 2 1/2 hours work. (of course that doesn't count the many, many hours cutting up the shirts. ~7??)

On a more Christmasy note.....in my purging today I found this great Christmas afghan.  Jim's neighbor made it for him when he was a single man. I love it with our Christmas quilt on the bed.
