My T-Shirt Quilt is Finished!!

 

A couple of years ago, my parents came across a box of old t-shirts of mine and asked me what I wanted to do with them.  Most of them had some sort of sentimental value to me, so I hated to get rid of them, but what on earth was I going to do with a whole box of shirts??? 

That’s when I remembered seeing this post in which a friend of mine was making a t-shirt quilt with a bunch of her old college shirts. I asked my Mamaw Judy if she would help me make one of my own  and, of course, she said yes. 

Unfortunately, life got in the way and my t-shirt quilt was put on the back burner, and almost forgotten about, until about a year ago when my talented sis-in-law was making one.

That’s when I decided that my shirts had been sitting in that box in my closet for way too long.  I called mamaw up and asked if she’d still want to help.  Soon after, we begin our t-shirt quilt journey.

We followed this tutorial (written by my sis-in-law.  Thanks for sharing Tereza!!)

So, without further ado, here is our finished project!

It’s not the greatest picture, but it is way to big for me to get a great picture.  As you can see, it totally covers my queen-size bed! 

I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love this quilt!!!  The memories from each shirt on it, added to that the fact that mamaw and I got to spend time together making it, makes it absolutely perfect!! 

(Thank you so much for all of your patience, time, effort, and love Mamaw Judy!  I love you!!)
