So true Karen. I made a memory quilt that included jeans with roofing tar on them and another with a wedding dress and t-shirts. I finished it and it turned out pretty nice. I'll post a picture tomorrow when I get on my computer. For everyone's future use, I used 906 pellon fusible interfacing on all the stretchy materials, sewed with 1/2 seams, and used quilters dream poly batting. My neighbor was thrilled with it.

Hey,
Just coming in on this post and wonder if you finished the quilt and do you have pictures of it. I would love to see the finished product.
You were brave to take this on and looks like you did a wonderful job.
amazing what people ask us to do. More amazing is that we say yes!
