These quilts were for the same client in Fargo. She sent many souvenir T shirts and fronts that had belonged to her son, to be made into twin-size throws for his bed in his college dorm. There were enough of them that I was able to get 2 memory quilts out of them, so I grouped them into 2 categories: Sports and Travel.
