A few weeks ago DIL asked if I’d make memory quilts from old baby and toddler clothes and I happily said yes, picturing a couple of lap sized quilts. However, she has now asked if the quilts could be ‘king size’ and reversible as she has lots of clothes that she can’t part with.
I was a bit daunted by the prospect and tried to explain that it would take a long time and might be a bit bulky to quilt on a normal sewing machine.
I’m now thinking that QAYG might be the perfect answer as I could do it a block at a time, at my leisure and see how big the quilts become. I’ve had a look at the excellent tutorial by
@Iminei and it looks ideal.
I wondered if any of you had done memory quilts this way and what patterns you’d used. Obviously this method means that there will be a grid element to the design, which I might want. I’m also thinking that if I used different quilting fabrics for the joining strips I could develop a different pattern.
Any tips, inspiration would be welcome
