Memory Quilts

I've made several memory quilts from men's shirts recently for a family who lost a dad, son and brother too soon.

• 

This was a family project, and together we made nine quilts from the same closet of XL shirts.

 I made four from the same set of blue and orange shirts, about 20 in total.

All of the quilts below measure about 60 by 80 inches, with a few variations on the size.

One quilt used up all the shirt tails and sleeve plackets and inside tags

Here's the whole thing, sashed with narrow blue fabric

I also made three quilts from squares and rectangles.

This one features orange prints and a variety of blue checks

This one features Ls made from rectangles,

for the first name of the recipient

This one uses a huge variety of blue checks in various values,

making an interlocking plus design. 

And with two of the recipients.

I've also made several from t-shirts, using the front logos.

This one used 16 tshirts, and was sashed and bordered with quilting cotton.

This quilt does not have sashing, and the tshirts motifs are various sizes.
