Memory Quilt

My customer, Jodi, commissioned me to make her a memory quilt using her late husband's jeans and pants. She selected 88 of her favorite family photos to put in the center of the blocks, and she also bought some different fabrics at the quilt store to go along with the pants. She is thrilled with the result and it looks great in her bedroom.
Now we are working on a coordinating valance for her window with the leftover border fabric.
It was alot of work, but its so much better than keeping pictures in a photo album that you never look at. This way you can see them all the time and just have fun remembering the good times.
Picture quilts are hand washed and air-dried for cleaning. The pictures will last a long time if cared for properly.
So try it!!
