Shirt Quilts
It took the better part of a year for me to be able to cut into my late husband's shirts to make quilts for our two sons and two grandsons. My talented sister and mom travelled 16 hours to come and work on the quilts. We made all four quilts in nine days, two of the cotton pieced quilts for my sons and the rag quilts are made from flannel and heavy cotton for the grandkids. We used mostly the backs and sleeves for the quilts so I still have shirt fronts to use for aprons and pillows.

My condolences on the loss of your husband, Slow2Sew. I know how difficult it must have been to face the prospect of tackling this project. I hope you are able to post the photos so we can all share in their beauty. I am sure they will be a comfort to your family.

I'm sorry for your loss. I was also widowed and it took me a long time to get over it. You are so blessed that your mom and sister were there to help you make these quilts. I hope they bring comfort to your sons and grandsons. That was a beautiful thought to share with them.
