It's been awhile since time-constraints let me accept a commission for a memory quilt, and I realized today that between 'the aging process' and pandemic glitches, a lot has changed in my studio, and my working methods. I found this etsy seller
www.etsy.com/listing/174469858/custom-memorial-quilt-memory-quilt?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=memorial+quilt&ref=sr_gallery-1-6
to use as a pricing reference point, but I need to specify a few things for my own potential clients, here in Guadalajara.
For quilts that memorialize a beloved father, for example with a design made from his shirts for example, it will of course depend upon the total number of shirts provided, but the maximum size will be 2 meters square. The simplest design at that size will be around 64-25cm squares, artfully arranged. The client can decide whether the quilt should be finished with batting, backing and yarn ties OR with a simple backing, no batting, OR with a simple binding, not even any backing.
This is what 'batting, backing and yarn ties' looks like -- you can see how (depending on the color yarn) the ties become an organic-looking part of the quilt. This type is very warm and comfortable, puffier than a quilted-quilt.
