Oh, how I wish you were my grandson! When my two sons died, I took their shirts and made quilts out of them for my 3 grandchildren (the sons' children). They were all very young when they received them.....9, 3, & 5.....Not much interest in the quilts then or now....when they are 20, 15, & 12. I don't know if they even know where they are. So, to hear someone such as yourself cherish what granny made and the memories is just so awesome to me. I know she is smiling!

Thanks again everyone. I honestly thought most of you would take one look at that huge post and say "Oops! No time for that!" and click back as fast as you could. I thought maybe a few would read it all because they have their own memories. I'm glad to know someone appreciated my thoughts.
I didn't press anything tonight. It will probably be the weekend before I get back in the sewing room, but I'll start by posting pics of some of the fabrics.

I'm looking forward to seeing what we can make with the scraps, and I'm sort of excited that Kimberly wants to continue the DWR quilt. I will post again when I start cutting. Right now I still have a basket and a half of scraps to press. That may take til I'm 50.
