Here is one of my finished projects.
It is my daughters t-shirt quilt that got scorched in the fire. I took it apart, washed the usable parts in oxyclean and rebuilt the quilt with a couple of other t's that she still had...she has enough t's for three more quilts, one of her years at KU , one of her years at ASU and one archeology quilt.

I actually like it better now. It is like a phoenix, coming back strong and vibrant. You did such a nice job with it. Last time I was at Joanne's, I noticed they were carrying a fire-resistant batting.

What a great mom you are to do this not just once, but twice! The quilt is great, and I'm sure she loves it!
