So sorry for your loss. I can't think of a better way to honor him than to leave that part of him for your children. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I too am so sorry for your loss. I love it when people make memorial quilts out of clothes for the family...like being wrapped in a hug from the departed!

What a great use of all those shirts! They will bring back such wonderful memories of your late husband to all who receive them. I hope making them and wrapping up in the one you make for yourself brings you comfort.
