Custom Memory Quilt in Progress Made From Men's Shirts for a Family in Ohio

Today I'm still cutting... lots and lots of strips!

This commission is for four Memory Quilts made from men's shirts 

for a family in Ohio.

This quilt will be made with cotton woven shirts as 

well as a bunch of knits including 

sweaters, polos and golf shirts. 

These new pics are of a knit vest that I am including which has to be fused to a backing

 before I can cut the strips.

Make sure you fuse your piece BEFORE you cut your pattern
so it doesn't shift and create ripples on the edges...

It's actually a pretty thick knit so I used a very thin woven interfacing...

I'm also including some fabric from a pair of Boston University shorts, which is very meaningful to the family. These shorts are a really thin knit, so I'm using a thicker interfacing.

You can see how awesome they look after fused and cut!

I also like to include things like little logos  and button hole strips
to really show that this is made from recycled clothing...
