Military Memory Quilt Made For the Wife of a NH National Guardsman with His Favorite Clothing.

I made this quilt for a client here in NH who wanted to give this as a gift to her mother, in memory of her father who passed away last year.
I was given his favorite pair of jeans, bandana, t shirts, Army uniform, PT T shirt, etc. 
My client chose the lilac as it is her mother's favorite color and she also chose the heart pantograph design.
In addition, she chose the "blocked" design with the color blocks so it could really highlight each individual article of clothing.
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), and the Town of Bow NH Fire Patch.
Here are some of the finished pics...
