I made 10 of these quilts for family members using 8 inch squares cut from Bill’s shirts. I designed and embroidered the words using EQS and my original cursive alphabet. Some of the squares have the pockets or part of the front button/button hole strip.
I used a plaid flannel backing so the quilts have a soft warm feeling. Every quilt was arranged a little bit differently. I needed about 20 shirts to get 200 squares.

What a lovely idea, Janet. Members of your family must thoroughly enjoy wrapping themselves up in their memory quilts while recalling happy and soothing thoughts of Bill. Thank you for sharing your quilt design with us.
