This quilt is made of my sister-in-law Claire's clothing. She passed away last summer 2 weeks after a fall. I have known her all my life as her family lived almost next door. My brother was reluctant to part with her things and I almost wish that I gave in to him. It was all polys, brocade, nylon, fleece etc. so I put fusible interfacing on it all. I also goofed up by not cutting the black strips the same size. But there are no quilt police at my brother's house. I had it long arm quilted by Mary Gunson with a purple varigated King Tut. She did a beautiful job as usual and the quilting makes it. It's in a posy and heart pattern to get away from the stippiness. I just finished the binding last night.
