    What a lovely tribute quilt. The shirts with the collars are too cute.

    What a superb job you did with this quilt -- the smaller 'shirts', pockets from pants, etc., are wonderful! Your label was terrific, too. What a nice memorial quilt to remember your dad with....I'm quite sure he's looking down at you from heaven and shaking his head in wonder at the masterpiece you created!

    What a great tribute quilt to your dad. A real treasure. Love the little shirt blocks with the 3D collar.

    I am about to embark on mission to make two lap-sized memory quilts for my sister-in-law made of my brother's jeans and flannel shirts. It will be a heart-wrenching, but satisfying journey. I like your idea. Thanks for sharing.
