I finally finished Ray's quilt. His widow loved it and was very touched. It was one of my favorite quilts to make. Here's some pics of the final quilt.
I even used his shirts for the back:
When I was sorting and taking apart the washed ties, Rita got involved. She could resist rolling around and playing in them!
Nice use of the ties - what a touching quilt! I also made a memorial quilt recently that incorporated ties, but only the four that were the favorites. The others I used in a throw pillow. Anyway, I've got pictures posted on my site at http://custommemorialquilts.com/a-gift-from-doug/
Very pretty. Love the ties and even all the clothes and things you included... and the design and colors are still elegant and neat.
