style="text-align: center;">I have already sent this quilt out to be finished so I should have the finished pics in a few weeks!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I used a dark navy blue border with a dark grey backing.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The top stitching will be navy blue, which will really compliment the colors in the quilt top.</div><div style="text-align:

style="text-align: center;">Last month my husband's Pepere passed away.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">He was such an amazing man and we all miss him terribly.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">Today I have started on a memory quilt, for my mother-in-law,&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">from her father's clothing and accessories.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I thought it would be neat to show all of the different pieces of clothing&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">that I will be working with before I cut them up!</div><div style="text-align: center;">As you can tell from the items, George was a VERY proud grandpa</div><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;as my husband is the one who attended West Point and is an Army Ranger.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">All of his clothing holds so much sentimental value for the entire family</div><div style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;and I'm so happy to make this quilt for Denise (and one for Kim also).&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">For this quilt I'll be using his suits and dress pants, sweatshirts, ties, jackets, hats, t shirts, sweaters, etc. There are so many more pieces of clothing that I am using that I just haven't photographed yet!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Stay tuned for the progress!</div><div

individual article of clothing.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I also removed the patches from the uniform and added them in the squares, as well as her father's favorite hat (the Oatey patch),

big OM symbol in the center.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I used fusible interfacing to stabilize the back of the area where I appliqued&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">the OM symbol and also used interfacing to stabilize the symbol itself.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I used recycled men's shirting fabric samples for the colored patches and I think it came out awesome!</div><div style="text-align: center;">They picked out a squiggly design for the pantograph and I will have it&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">finished with a navy thread to match the border.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I should have the finished quilt done at the beginning of December&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">and I'll post more pics then!</div><br

style="text-align: center;">Today I started on a super cool quilt for a family<br /> &nbsp;in Oregon to give as an Xmas gift!</div><div style="text-align: center;">The fabrics that I'm using are recycled 100% cotton shirting samples,<br /> a left over from the fashion industry.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">These fabrics are AMAZING and I LOVE working with them!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Ok, so the design I'm working on is the "peek-a-boo" square which is actually two pieces sewn together in a square and then I cut out the square. I leave the edges raw because when I have the quilt top quilted, it will be so tightly quilted that the pieces won't have any opportunity to pull apart. I wouldn't recommend this technique if you're not planning to have the top long arm quilted though...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a
