Fade Away is a memory quilt created in honor of my mom, Laura Green Irwin, who passed away after her battle with leiomyosarcoma in December 2014. Designed with the idea of shapes and fabrics fading across the quilt, it reflects both loss and remembrance. This pattern is especially meaningful for memory quilts — whether using clothing, cherished fabrics, or scraps that represent the people and moments you hold dear. Each quilt tells a unique story, and creativity is encouraged. My hope is that Fade Away brings comfort, healing, and joy to everyone who makes and uses it.
