Custom Memory Quilt Made Using Army Uniforms, T shirts, Jeans and a Bandana

This Custom Memory Quilt is being made for a client of mine 
in NH from her father's clothing for her mother as a gift.
 Her father was an Army Vet and has just recently passed away. 
She wanted to incorporate some of his favorite old t shirts, 
a bandana he used to always wear, his uniforms, 
a PT shirt from his Army days and a pair of his jeans. 
We decided on the purple border because her mother loves the color purple 
and we wanted to make the quilt a bit more feminine
 since it would be for her. 
They chose a heart pantograph design 
which will look so pretty when it's completely finished.
Stay tuned, I'll post pics when I get it back from my long arm quilter!!
