Memory Quilt Progress

The hard part is done. 

Now I'm trying to decide if I should do a 1" purple inner border and binding with a multicolor 3" border. Or if I should use pink like the letters.

At first I thought I would just match pink the lettering.  I'm surprised but I think I like the purple better. 

Inspiration-Diversion

I'm not sure where I will use this but I was looking through a book on seminole indian patchwork and this pattern was in it.  I just had to make a few. You would think I didn't have anything to do.

I have 4 quilt tops to quilt. 

I have 2 quilt tops to sew together 

and I have the memory quilt to complete. 

Memory Quilt

I'm making a memory quilt for a sweet friend.  

This is before I started cutting up all the clothes.  The first cut is the hardest.

This was after 12 hours

This is after about 18 hours of fusing and cutting.  I still have a ways to go but is seems to be coming together.  I have 4 or 5 more pieces to add and then I will start to fill in the empty spaces with the leftover scraps.
