A couple of years ago, my daughter's best friend, Jessica asked if I would take her Grandfather's clothes and make some quilts for her and her family. It took a couple of years. First she and her family had to pick patterns. Jess went with a modern looking pattern. Her Mother and sister decided on a traditional nine patch. We had to draft the patterns from pictures (a first for me) and then cut up all the clothes. Right in the middle we had to pack it all up while we remodleled our house which took about nine months. We finally got started again. Once I got them all sewed together, we took them to a longarmer to quilt. I bound them with his pants. We made the label using his favorite pants. Here are the results.
