Hello Cuties!MEMORY QUILT<br /><br /><br /><br />

As most of you are aware we lost Douglas last month, my husbands baby brother age 70. A day or two after the funeral, my sister in law Jenny, asked if I would make her a quilt from his western shirts. So...this is it. Most of his shirts had stripes and usually had a red or burgundy in the stripe. Jenny wanted just plain squares blocked off, so I bought the red blended for the sashing and blue blended 108 inch for the cornerstones and backing. I felt it was too busy trying to put the squares together because of all the stripes. Also, Jenny didn’t want to sash with a lighter color and since the squares were mostly dark I went bright with the sashing so you could see some division. It is 90 inches x 96 and I just stipple/ free motion quilted. I used a dark gray thread. She has not seen it yet, but I plan on giving her this on Fathers Day. I also made pillows for the daughters and will give them all that day since it will be a hard day for them. Maybe this will give them all a little happiness on their first Father’s Day without him.<br /><br /><br /><br />
I had to reduce the size of the first photo and now it is sideways🙄😩- the blue is the back side<br /><br /><br /><br />
Hope you like and hope she does too. Have a good day❤️Toogie
