That one was for a son-in-law; it was made from his father’s and grandfather’s shirts



I sewed quilts from worn-out shirts for some of the men in my family; these two were for my grandsons

Here’s the quilt made from my old clothes; the back was made from a duvet cover I no longer used. Patchwork originally started as a way to turn old clothes into new items.

A quilt like this, made from old shirts, is a very lovely keepsake.
