Frame Quilt: Dad’s Plaid Shirts Memory Quilt

Hi, I am trying to catch up this weekend on some blog posts that are long overdue. I pieced another memory quilt from Dad’s plaid shirts. I used the Frame quilt pattern by Sandra Clemons. I had the blue and white sashing all ready cut from when I miscut the Double the Plus quilt two years ago. Many of the pieces I needed to cut to size were all ready cut.

This had to be one of the easiest quilts to make into a memory quilt since I just needed to cut 20 squares from my shirts. I thought I had 20 different squares but ended up with doubles from one shirt.

I love the Irish Chain look to this pattern. I think it should be well received since it is going to a niece whose family is Irish. I love the electric blue. It really pops.

Here is the left half of quilt. With careful pressing of my seams, most of them nested perfectly the first time around.

Here is the right hand side of the quilt.

I really love how this memory quilt turned out. It will be hard to give up. I have another memory quilt to blog about yet. I have a new one cut out this week and have three more I need to design yet. The leftover scraps bag is to go towards making a quilt for an upcoming quilt book blog tour in April/May.

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my latest quilt projects. I will be linking this finish up with Crazy Mom Quilt’s Finish It Friday linky party.

Have a great weekend.

Happy Sewing,

Shelley
