    Default Ideas for a memory quilt from this!?!

    My daughter in law is special to me and she has asked for a quilt with her 2 colleges she went to. She sent me all of this. How do I incorporate these colors and textures?

    Iron stabilizer onto the back of the softer fabrics. If that chevron is fabric use it a sashing around the logos and the t-shirt. You can either cut the shorts into squares or cut them down each side and appliqué to a backing. Lay the various blocks out and fill in with other pieced blocks or solid fabric.

    Tesspug has great ideas--but is that a chenille Bobcat on the top, right of the photo? If so I'd add that after you quilt because it will be so heavy.

    Dark brown or cream should blend the colours. A lightweight stabiliser will be best on tee shirt fabric to reduce stretch.
