These three quilts all started when my husband's half-sister, Amanda, went to clean out her mom’s house after she had passed away in order to have a garage sale. She discovered that her mom had quite the fabric stash and asked if I would make a memory quilt for her. Of course I said yes! Then I decided to surprise her by making one quilt for her, and two more for her siblings!

Amanda's Memory Quilt (#3)
After making the Geese in the Corner memory quilt, I had many leftover HSTs (half square triangles). I decided to use them to make a third memory quilt.

Amanda's Memory Quilt (#2)
When Amanda sent me the box of fabrics to make a memory
quilt from her mom’s fabric stash, I quickly concluded I could make many quilts
from the fabric in the box. I decided I would secretly make three quilts – one
for each sibling. (More details on the post for Quilt #1.)

Amanda's Memory Quilt (#1)
My husband's half-sister, Amanda, went to clean out
her mom’s house after she had passed away in order to have a garage sale. She discovered
that her mom had quite the fabric stash and asked if I would make a memory
quilt for her. Of course, I agreed!
My mom went to the garage sale to potentially buy some fabric, but discovered it all to be dated and mostly not quilting cotton. She showed Amanda what fabrics would work for quilting. Amanda said she would pick some she liked and mail me a box.
