Remembering Grandpa Gerald

After my Grandpa passed away I took his shirts to make my Grandma a quilt for her bed. I thought a lot about how I would piece it and what other fabrics I would use. I decided on a pinwheel pattern and to do all the other fabric white. I also did a small border around the large 4 pinwheels made with the pearly button snaps. I had Maureen Ellsworth quilt it and she did an amazing job! I was so happy with how it turned out. I was thrilled that I was able to give it to my Grandma in person, but also sad to be giving it away... Is that weird? As I was making it I got really attached... Grandma seemed to like it and I am happy she will have memories to sleep with. Hopefully this can be of some comfort to her. Anyway, one more project down, and on to the next!
