That is so impressive! I love the yellow stripes you used to set everything off. It really makes the quilt unique.

Anyway, I love, love, love they way you offset some of the t-shirts. I'd love to try that in mine, but that's probably a bit ambitious for me. Thanks so much for sharing.
there's a very long story behind why it took so long.
i didn't work on it every day. other things interrupted often and for months at a time.
offsetting the shirts wasn't difficult.
i just treated them like big centers of a wacky log cabin or crazy quilt square.
i tilted them and then added to each of the four sides until they were big enough to trim back to the final size.
i used one of the many quilt as you go methods.
it was huge and heavy, but with some help from a friend i managed to wrassle it through to add straight-line quilting to the sashing.
thanks for all the compliments. :)
