It sounds like you've got a lifetime of great memories to recall until you see him again.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04939987028726182741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987305.post-82836171783702275922011-09-13T23:35:40.533-06:002011-09-13T23:35:40.533-06:00Oh, I grieve with you, the loss of your wonderful ...Oh, I grieve with you, the loss of your wonderful dad. Yet share your hope of the glory he sees! You must miss him terribly - I'm so sorry.<br /><br /><br />And totally off-topic, but in response to your question...<br /><br />First is to google up jeans quilts, or clothing quilts. There are lots out there, and it will help you get an idea of what you want to do.<br /><br />Second is a caution: denim is (obviously) a thick, heavy fabric and may be difficult to sew in the same quilt/pattern with lighter weight work shirts. If you do mix them, you'll want to do something to stabilize the lighter materials so it "pulls" and wears evenly. Does that make sense?<br /><br />Or you might want to make separate quilts with the denim in one and the work shirts in another. I saw a baby quilt that a grandma made for the first grandbaby. Grandpa always tucked in his flannel work shirts, so the shirt tails were all in pretty good condition and that's what she made the baby quilt of.<br /><br />Another way to put the two into the same quilt would be to use the jeans/denim for the back and the shirts for the front.<br /><br />As far as doing something intricate, that probably depends on the fabrics. If they're plaids and stripes and more 'busy' material, you might not want a pattern with lots of little pieces, because it can all become just visual clutter. Or, if you want to do something small and intricate, maybe choose a coordinating solid color to intersperse with the shirts.<br /><br />Hope this is helping and not just raising more questions... but questions are good :D<br /><br />Whatever you do, you'll love the memories :D<br /><br />JulieHerding Grasshoppershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15668974245505544238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987305.post-2461801566653759222011-09-11T08:57:13.095-06:002011-09-11T08:57:13.095-06:00This really touched me.
