Boy {Memory Quilt}


May always brings Mother's Day, flowers, and graduations!

This memory quilt was commissioned for a young man that attended the same high school and elementary schools of my sons.
His quilt includes items ranging from baby outfits and baby quilts, to Little League jersey and concert tshirts.

I had many, many ideas run through my head, but I finally settled on simple. 


I decided to unify all the colors with a gray sashing.

I quilted it with Omni Gray in a meandering pattern on my longarm.

I went with my standard minky backing. This time, in a gray to reflect the sashing on the front. 
I figure if the recipient isn't too sentimental about their clothing items made into a quilt, at least the soft backing will encourage to cuddle under them.

Black binding framed it out.

  1. What a beautiful way to preserve meaningful memories! The thoughtful combination of baby clothes, jerseys, and concert T-shirts, brought together with simple gray sashing and elegant quilting, makes this memory quilt both personal and timeless. It’s a wonderful example of how cherished pieces of the past can be transformed into something practical and lasting.
