This is my favourite quilt - The Manly Quilt - which I made for my oldest teen aged son. It's a memory quilt of sorts because it is made mostly from shirts he wore growing up. We look at the different plaids and each one has a story, such as the one he wore in kindergarten and tore... or the one he wore in first grade and stained with paint. *By the way, he's still hard on his clothes! (insert an eye roll here... LOL).
love it. and such a great name!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet quilt with lots of memories. Love the name of the quilt too!!

I love shirt quilts; I made a little random quilt from some, and have now amassed another bagful so will be starting another one sometime soon!
ReplyDeleteShirt memory quilts are amongst my favourites.
What a fantastic memory quilt.
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
Great teen quilt - how lovely that you have recycled some of his shirts!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you manage to pick just one favourite, all your quilts are so amazing that I would have to have several categories of "favourite" if I were you. My favourite plaid one, my favourite floral one, favourite vintage sheet one, favourite bento box one...
