@VickiK - the Passacaglia Quilt project will be in progress for a very long time.
My most recent quilt was a commission. This is the 8th quilt I’ve made for this family. The previous 7 were for the children in this blended family. The husband’s first wife died in childbirth, leaving him with 5 kids under the age of 10. He later married his second wife, who’s husband died of viral meningitis, leaving her with two young sons. All 7 kids (now young adults) have quilt from their deceased parent’s clothing. Quilt#8 was for their grandmother, made from their grandfather’s garments. Two suit jackets, several Oxford button downs, a gorgeous flannel shirt, a pair of khakis, a couple of beautiful neckties, and a polar fleece.
This turned out really well. I might make a menswear quilt again with Italian wools and silk ties. Not soon, however. I have a house to build, and another one to pack up and move.
