We are making Memory Quilts for her and her sons and I love them!
He was a wearer of Plaid - so you all know I am IN LOVE!!
This is the start of the first one:
He has such a variety of colors in his shirts - I tried to pull the *warm* colors for one, the * cool* colors for another - But there is plaid... oh and Stripes1! I think I may have to add Stripes to my plaid obsession!!
How many of you watched the Super bowl? I *watched* along with my sewing machine - what fun!

Sewing to the background noise would be okay! lol Great job on this top-it is a really nice use of fabric for the memory quilt!
Love this! The stripes do a lot of "the work" here making this a wonderful design. Thanks for sharing - it's very inspiring.
Those quilts are going to be priceless! And I agree about shirting stripes and plaids.
Clothing fabrics can be tricky to work with, but it is so worth it for all the memories the quilts will bring back. Such a nice way to clear out without throwing it all away. The quilt will be so much more loved than a stack of old shirts.
I am thinking I need to make sure my Mom keeps some shirts from my Dad, not that he's going anywhere soon! But what a great idea.
What a great quilt pattern and the combo of colors and plaids and stripes make this quilt amazing!! Good job!!!
These quilts are going to be sooooo cherished by your friend and her family x
Nice BIG blocks and a T-shirt thrown in for good measure. LOVE it, Alycia!! :o))
Maybe a pieced plaid heart in there somewhere?
I was busy sewing and I don't get cable in my sewing room (only DVD and VCR in there).
