Memory Blanket is a 'quilt' made from squares of card or paper - chopped up artwork, with a memory written on the back of each square. I'm stitching it together with gold thread. I like the way quilts hold memories, often made from scraps of fabric, meaningful or leftover. I think this is kind of a literal interpretation of a quilt.
I began it when Feets was about 1 and I'd come to the end of the diary I had for her. Her squares are blues and greens. When Bean was about 1, her achievements joined the blanket too - they are pinks and purples. And memories for both children are white.It's a work in progress and I don't know when I'll finish it, but the other day I decided I had enough squares to lay them out together and see how they looked. Sadly the stitching is far from finished, but one thing I look forward to seeing is how the blanket hangs, for example over a chair, in all it's angularity.
