Memory Quilts - trio of finishes

Finally, the Memory Quilts have had their last stitches stitched and been washed, dried and folded ready for passing on.  I've told the story of these quilts in a previous post so I won't say too much here, but just show you the finished quilts front and back.

and pieced backing nicely crinkled from the dryer.

and pieced backing.  Happily, the three colour catchers I included in the wash worked a treat and there was no bleeding of any of the many reds used.

I added a label to the back of each quilt.  They are slightly larger and less discreet that I might have wished but I want the children to understand what the quilts are.

The quilts have finished at 60" square each and I am pleased that they've turned out probably even a little better than I first expected.  I won't deny that I am relieved to have finished them, perhaps because of the weight of responsibility I felt for making them worthy of my brother-in-law's memory.  All that remains is for me to pray over them before I pass them on that they will be a blessing and a comfort to his children in time.
