Memories

A friend asked me to make a memory quilt for her son who was graduating. She had collected his t-shirts since elementary school. She had also already cut them into shapes she thought would work for a future quilt. The challenge was to use her shapes in the quilt. I appliquéd the revised shapes onto squares and rectangles that were then joined by a quilt as you go method. The result was a fully reversible quilt with one side representing elementary years and the other representing high school years.
