    That ia such a great way of using the material. And I was thinking little kids clothes could be done that way. J

    That is really cute! And how great is it that you're helping her make it and you're both having fun?!!

    I've seen lots of quilts made out of shirt fabric but this is the first one that makes them look like shirts. Very clever. I'm sure this project is helping her with the grieving process, how nice of you to help her. It's looking great and I'm sure it will evoke wonderful memories for her.

    What a great quilt! I really like how the shirts look so realistic yet are mini, and how you're helping your friend. It looks like it's a very enjoyable project for the two of you and a very fitting memorial for the wonderful man you described.

    Love it, what a neat idea, I love memory quilts and enjoy making them. I take care of a 90 year old young miss who I have already been looking at her clothes and getting ideas for her three kids. Mom is much loved,she is a real sweet heart, and a joy to spend time with.
    Big cheers to you for getting it done.!!!!!

    She's going to luv and treasure it when it's done - not to mention the comfort it will bring her having a part of him close to her.

    Great job and you're so wonderful for making it happen for her. :thumbup: :lol: :thumbup: :lol:
