Memory Quilt Part 1

I decided to create a memory quilt using some of my daughter's outgrown t-shirts. As you can see, she really loves pink. All shades of pink.

First I cut each shirt and then stabilized with clothing interfacing to stabilize the stretchy material and to keep its shape while cutting and sewing but maintain softness. Then I choose five larger special element measuring 20 by 20 cm and lots of smaller squares 10 by 10 cm. Also made a number of small squares from scraps to make a more complex desing.

Started sewing together the pieces, two blocks done, ten more to go...

Cheers,
Emese

  9. Pretty and pink, that's for sure! I have seen this done and they really are fun. My sis even made one out of my mothers pants. She used the legs and cut long strips. It's a wonderful remembrance of our sweet mom! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
    hugs,
