Dress quilt
Several of you said you'd like to see the whole quilt of this one. Thank you blog readers for sending me the photo of the whole quilt and not just two little dresses.
I did mention before the quiltmaker used her mother's wedding dress and old clothes of hers when she was little to make this a personalized quilt.
I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

Love the story of using her moms clothes..what an heirloom quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest quilt! How clever!!! Keepsake indeed!
ReplyDeleteDefinite could be an endless quilt. Thank you for sharing it with us Lori.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story this quilt has, and how nice to get a couple of photos to show the whole quilt!!! I just love this, so unusual, so much charm and family history!!!
ReplyDeleteMom made quilts for her girls using the scraps from our clothes--since she made all our clothes, but nothing as fun as this with the dress shapes.
ReplyDeleteThis is a terrific quilt! I thank your blog readers too for getting the whole thing :)
ReplyDeleteIt's good to share. I'm glad I got to see this one at the Sister's show. I see others got more close-ups. I made a Sunbonnet Sue for my oldest grand-daughter with leftovers from the clothes I made for her mother and aunt. This one is way cuter.
ReplyDeleteThis one is super cute - like paper dolls!
ReplyDeleteI love that and love the idea of using old clothes in a quilt. I wish I had kept the kids clothes, but I do have some in a quilt I made years ago.

ReplyDeleteThis is even more fun than Sunbonnet Sue!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to memorialize a mother in a quilt. It's absolutely darling.
ReplyDeleteoh Lori what a special quilt I LOVE it and the story.
ReplyDeleteso glad you were able to get pictures of this quilt....I wish i could have done something like this with my Mothers clothes when she passed away....I was way to young to even think of quilting yet.

ReplyDeletethanks for finding the whole quilt!
Thank you for sharing...this is so special! And thanks to your readers for sharing too!
ReplyDeleteInteresting that someone would have pieces of fabric from old clothes from that long ago. It makes a wonderful memory quilt.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt, love the embroidered hangers and quilted details in the dresses. What a perfect pattern to use those old clothes in, makes me wish I had some. My non quilting friends think all quilts are made out of old clothes.
ReplyDeleteQuilts with a family connection or a reminder of our past are the very best. This is such a wonderful, creative quilt. Thanks for sharing it with us, and thanks to the blog readers who also had photos to share.
ReplyDeleteIt is a darling! Lucky you someone had the whole picture ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi Lori! I LOVE this quilt. h I wish I had some of my mom's clothes to use...it would make an adorable child's quilt too.
ReplyDeleteI can t tell, from any of the pictures: Is it pieced? Or applique? If pieced, I wonder what the block would look like, any ideas, anyone?
thx! lizzy
The fact that the quilt was made from dresses makes it extra special. I love it.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is s stunning quilt! Thank you for sharing the pictures of the whole quilt. The stitched hangers are great!
ReplyDeleteI love that it was made with lots of memories!
When I saw a picture of just a couple of the blocks I thought it was nice but after seeing the entire quilt and hearing the story I am SO loving it .. what a great idea!! Thanks to the readers who provided the pictures ... thank YOU for sharing it all!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt with such special fabrics. I just love the little hangers!!
