    Default Memory quilt

    I want to make a memory quilt from various types of fabric. Can this work?

    Of course you can. Some fabrics you may have to stabilize, but there's not reason you can't use multiple types of fabric. Sometimes you have to perhaps wash them differently but throughout history many crazy quilts were made using various fabric....GOOD LUCK AND SHOW PICS

    Yes, you can. I did this with my Mom's clothes after she passed away, but I made a rag quilt, not the usual pieced quilt. But I know others have done that type as well.
