    I have made my share of memory quilts with my business and they are without a doubt the most gratifying to produce...but I must say, I have never seen one made from shirts like this one...how very awesome. What a wonderful treasure for this family. I LOVE it!

    That is the cutest idea. You are very clever and what a wonderful friend she has in you. How nice that you can ease her pain a bit as you laugh together. God bless.

    I have several in my files that I want to make some day. Here are a few. Also EQ has some in their library of quilt blocks. These are all free patterns and can vary depending on the fabric you choose. Ann in TN
