This quilting project was in memoriam of my mom. The middle area of each quilt was made out of 9 patch blocks. In the middle of each 9 patch is a large square. Those large squares were cut from 2 articles of my moms clothing. The fuchsia/orange squares came from a floral jacket she used to wear that really looked great on her. The khaki squares came from a pair of pants she wore to work at Target. She really loved working there for 25 years. The other pieces of fabric came from fabrics my mom had in her stash of fabrics. I bet she would never have guessed this is what that fabric would be used for. I made one lap quilt for each of my siblings and one for myself for a total of 8 quilts. It took me a while to finish all of them, but I am happy I made them.
