wow! amazing - I have my brother's shirts that I've been holding onto to make a quilt from for my sister-in-law. I couldn't imagine having one turn out this beautiful.

I think all of my designs are pretty simple...I wanted to highlight the shirt material and let that shine and pop out. I also wanted to break up border designs from the center...so different designs in each section..texture. I love texture. I tend to do that with quilting .....and also with my personal fabric choices.
I quilted both of these quilts on my INNOVA. No pantograph or computer quilting.
I used Hobbs polydown batting in both quilts.
Thanks for looking.
