2nd quilt from Dad's T-shirts and Hawaiian shirts

Missy had so many shirts that we made 2 quilts for her mom.  One, the smaller, will be a "travel quilt" that she can take with her.  This one is much larger, probably close to a queen sized quilt.

We initially had 28 shirts, so the quilt would be 4 blocks wide and 7 long, making it very long and skinny and out of proportion  I suggested that 2 more shirts would make it a more even size, and  Missy mentioned that there were some things that her dad had written, so she printed them onto fabric and we included them in the quilt.  This is clearly a card that was included with flowers as you can see "Minot's Flowers" on the bottom of the card.  Then he wrote "Thanks for the perfect family."

There is also a poem/story that he wrote about meeting his wife when he was 11 years old, and how they came to be married.  I nearly cried the first time I read that!
