I don't think I am going to be able to get all the projects done before Christmas but the ones that I promised will be.
This photo is a section of the memory quilt. As you can see, there are a lot of velour fabrics as well as others that aren't cotton. I offset the squares to give a bit of interest. The one dark square on the left, second last row was cut from the top centre of the clothing so it has a zipper and some decorative stitching. I did that with a number of blocks. A little harder to work with but I like to include unusual blocks that will also remind the customer of their loved one wearing that article of clothing.
Tomorrow I deliver a completed quilt so can mark that one off the list.
I have a pattern idea buzzing around in my head using log cabin blocks. Hope to have a chance to work that out and make it.
Blessings,
That's a great memory quilt! I like to include pockets, too - just another fun touch.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great memory quilt! By offsetting the rows, you not only added interest but you eliminated bulk in the seams of the non-quilting fabric...brilliant idea!!!
