Spinning Oxfords


Here it is! The memorial quilt for a friend's Mom. She passed away this last summer, and she loved her Oxford shirts! The entire front, including the sashing (but not the binding), was made from her crisp, starched shirts!

I hope it doesn't appear washed out with the snow behind it, but, up close, it looks like a summer picnic quilt. And it's the perfect drape - the heavy seams just melt into the Quilter's Dream Puff batting.

This is my favorite one yet and will be VERY hard to give away.

  2. Lovely work. Did you use a pattern or was it a design you came up with. I am sure that your friend will love the quilt....and memories.

  3. Awesome sauce! You are right, this is the best one yet. Having all the same fabric must have been such a relief. This looks great! I love the combination of plaids/stripes with the plain fabric in each block. You're the Man! um, no. You're the Woman! better. You're the Quilter! best.
