What a loving gesture and a remarkably special quilt! It will surely be comforting (in many ways) as she reminisces about the individual shirt fabrics - the occasions when he wore them, how he looked in them, which were his favorites, etc. All wonderful memories in the making. Kudos to you!

I’m sorry about the loss of your Uncle. What a beautiful memory quilt in in his honor! I’m sure this will bring comfort to you’re Aunt and she will treasure it.

How very thoughtful and kind of you to make this for her. I have tears in my eyes just thinking of the joy this will bring her.

I have done one of these for my grandson with all the grandpas shirts on both sides. Even managed to find a few for the great grandpas. He loves it and uses it every day. I removed the pockets of the shirts first and embroidered each grandpas name on them and appliqued them to the back.
