"Grandpa's shirts (and jeans) for Lindsey's grandmother"

 

Hard to believe, but it's a good thing when you make your customer cry when they pick up their quilt.  Lindsey's maternal grandmother had saved these shirts and pieces of jeans from her husband's clothes after he passed away.  She had even started to make quilt blocks, and that's where the design that I ended up with started.  She had made the rail fence blocks with shirt fabric and denim, and cut out the red and blue squares.    In order to make it large enough, I pieced the two plaid center rows.
Quilted with a design called 'I love you this much".  Finished just in time for Christmas, and I hope many many memories for their familiy.
