    I’m sorry to hear about you father-in-law Kassaundra. Your wall quilts are a beautiful and thoughtful way to remember him and this first one is spectacular.

    Wonderful memory and treasure for his children. How nice of you to do this for them. Your block is great and the backing is so cute and will be a forever gift.

    What a lovely tribute. It is amazing how the plaid creates such a lovely design.

    Kassaundra, I am completely blown away by how you matched/fussy cut the plaid fabric to get such a stunning wall hanging out of plaid shirts. Could you share how you did that? This first wallhanging is beautiful and I am sure all the family members will appreciate such a nice remembrance of your FIL. So sorry for your loss.
