Default T-shirt quilt for DGS

My grandson, who has some learning difficulties, but excels in music, theater, etc., asked me to make a t-shirt quilt and brought be 39 t-shirts, many of which had backs with cast member names on them. Here's what I made--my first t-shirt quilt. I put the t-shirt backs on the quilt back. Hope he'll like it; I'm very happy with the way it came out. This board solved a big problem for me with the suggestion that I use waxed paper to cover the rubbery logos on the quilt while quilting.

That's an amazing quilt! I like the way you've fit all the fronts on the front. And putting the backs on the back was genius. Bet your DGS will love and cherish it.

What a fine quilt that is. Great idea of putting the cast members (back of shirts) on the back of the quilt. He's going o absolutely LOVE this quilt.
