This was the first "memory quilt" that I made. A client approached me with the idea - it was made of his dad's old clothing as a memento for his mom after his dad passed away. Incorporated into the grid of 6" (?) squares of clothing were five 12" denim squares, each embroidered with the names of their children and grandchildren and framed with the red plaid that we chose to visually tie the quilt together and also to use for the backing (wrapped around for the binding as well.)
This quilt was machine pieced, hand tied with red yarn, and used polyester batting (8oz?).
