Description

This will be a one-of-a-kind throw-size quilt made from your own sentimental materials--such as vintage textiles, worn but favorite clothing items or such inherited items as a late relative's silk ties.  You can include any clothing and textiles that are important to you. The finished quilt will be something to treasure for years to come.
