    What a wonderful tribute to your grandfather, the idea of using his shirts and trousers is a very touching idea. Every time you look at it you will be reminded of him. Very sweet indeed and your pattern and work are beautiful!

    Looks like a quilt that everyone would want to have.

    Using those special fabrics from your Grandfather's clothes makes this such a special quilt for just that. On top of that it is really a sharp looking quilt.

    This wonderful quilt will warm you twice... once with the materials themselves & also with all your loving memories of your grandpa. What a fabulous tribute to someone who sounds like a very special person!

    That is beautiful and I am sure your Granddad would love it. Unfortunately I am severely allergic to wool so I do not see myself creating such a wonderful tribute to any of my family members. LOL

    Now, any time you want a hug from your dad, you can simply wrap him around you. Great way to preserve his memory. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
