QUILT

[justscore]

I have been away form my computer for several days and saw that there is indeed enough interest to make a memory quilt for Becky and maybe one for Deandra.  If you have any questions or suggestions, please post them here.  I will post again tomorrow with an address to send items to.  If you are unable to make a quilt square, I can make one for you from any kind of fabric.  My favorite quilt pieces are made from t-shirts or anything that can be cut up into a quilt square.  Size does not matter.  If you do not sew, you can go to a fabric store and buy fabric sheets that can be run through a printer.  This makes it easy to use a picture or scan a design from your computer.  Put your thinking caps on and let's get this done. :)  Ty sent me a picture a few months ago and I will make it into a square.  If anyone is in touch with Becky or Deandra's family, they may want to send me something that is special to them to add.  One thing I always thought would be good is the PJ's that Ty bought for Becky that she always talked about........
I wish I could have done this for her before she passed. She and I discussed it and she was getting stuff together to send me.  I wonder if she started a collection.....

Peace!

Oh Wow that is awesome, I can't believe you are hand delivering it too.  Have a safe trip.  I know it's going to be such an emotional trip.  If you don't mind will you post a few pics here in your profile, as I don't do facebook.  Can hardly wait to see it.  Send Becky's Family our Well Wishes!!

I got your note,checked for updated pictures. Nothing yet but it sounds like you're very busy with the quilt. I know the feeling. I'm still trying to finish a baby quilt before the baby gets here (any day now). No pressure of course.  LOL

I am flying to Toronto and possibly meeting up with Ashley to deliver the quilt.  I have lots of sewing to do..........

Finished all the squares for Becky and now trying to assemble them.  I put more pics on FB, let me know what you think.  I had to adjust some of the squares people sent me.  On most of them,I just added a border and a couple of them I made a tad smaller.  The top panel is all about Becky.  The middle panel is Becky and family.  The bottom panel is mostly about Ty.  I will probably rearrange it a few times before I start putting the black sashing on.

I did have 2 squares I was not sure on what quilt they should go so I added them to the Deandra pile because she has less stuff than Becky.

Hope that is ok with everyone.

Today is Becky's bday.....lots of good thoughts for her today.

You're doing such a wonderful job on these.  I am so impressed.  I know the families will be, as well.  You have the hard part...not only assembling everything, but dealing with the emotion of each square coming together and seeing them built from the ground up.  

I saw the Spiderman block, too.  Very sweet!!
