Helping a widow make a quilt from shirts, a blast!

Love the shirts. I will be making 2 memory quilts from my DMIL's shirts - one for my husband and one for my BIL. Had never thought of doing them like you are with the shirts. That is really neat and will be very special for your friend.

She bought this pattern at a LQS, something I'd never seen until she showed it to me. And I'll be darned if I'm gonna let somebody say theres no way! So heres our progress. We get together about once a week. This is her first and probably her last quilt, so she says. But we have such a good time when we're together, I hope she catches the bug!
