I recently finished a commission quilt for a customer using a collection of her son's hockey jerseys. She requested irregular piecing and that the "battle scars" on the jerseys be included.
She couldn't remember if he was kicked with a skate blade here or hit with a stick. Ouch, rough sport!
This quilt got an all-over meander in a medium grey. The batting was Hobbs 80/20 and the thread was So Fine top and bottom.
Great memories preserved!

Widow's memory quilt
This memory quilt was quite touching to work on. It was created from a customer's late husband's clothing, and his personality really shined through. We used t-shirts, jeans, flannel pajamas, and logos from hats, among other things. It was a collaborative effort as this was a huge quilt made for a king-sized bed. It was irregularly pieced and quilted with an all-over meander.

T-shirt quilt in the works
Here is a quick shot of a t-shirt quilt while it was in progress way back in October. Somehow I never got a picture of the finished product. Oops!
