Memory Monday 20 ~ Things That Happen in Memory Quilts

When I make a memory quilt from clothing,

especially well worn clothing,

I have to remember there WILL be problems.

No, if, ands, or buts about it.

No matter how much I pay attention to the grain of the fabric

and try to cut on the the straight grain,

I will still have problems.

However, I do like the surprise of colors that pop up

because of fading that does or does not occur

within a garment.

For example, facing fabric, or any fabric not expose to the outside of the garment inside a hem,

tends to retain it's original color.

I just try to remember,

its the memory of the quilt

that is important.
