T-shirt Quilt.

  A friend of my mother asked if I would make a T-shirt quilt for her daughter. Her daughter had collected the shirts from different productions from school and groups she had been in and some she had made for a special event she was attending. She didn't want all the shirts anymore and had seen this idea of a T-shirt quilt on pinterest. I had never made a quilt before but thought it might be fun so I said "Sure". That was the start of the insanity.
  She gave me about 60 shirts I believe. Thankfully she is very organized and had each shirt marked on what she wanted. Example: " Front only.  Front and back.  Logo.  Front and back together.  Back only."   You get the idea. When I laid all the pieces out I  saw just how big this thing was going to be.
O_O   That's what my face looked like as I laid all the pieces out and saw just how big this thing was going to be. It measures roughly 9.5 feet long and a bit over 7 feet wide. Now don't get me wrong. I knew I wasn't going to finish a quilt in 2 days and call it good. I just didn't expect it would take WEEKS!! I know. Silly me. I might be a little blond at the roots....no offense to any blonds reading this. You girls are a riot to be around. :)
Anyway....I finally finished the quilt yesterday and took some pictures.  and now without further ado...
The Quilt.




This is pretty much a full view of the quilt. You can't see all of the bottom row but you can see top to bottom on the left side.


One of my favorite sayings on her shirts.


I just HAD to put these two together! "K is for Klutz"+"Titanic" yeah. :D


I just liked the knights on this shirt. Makes me smile.

  1. I can't resist a blogger asking PLEASE. So here is my comment, Ms. Driver-Quilter: Your face does not at all resemble 0_0. But try as I might, I could not get the 0's to go horizontal, let alone grow eyelashes. Where are the email emoticons when you need them? BYE!
