Graduation quilt for my Nephew
My SIL sent these shirts to me and asked me to do my magic. Couple of her requests were to add a basketball somewhere and keep it closer to a twin so he could take it to college with him. I send her a picture this evening and she loves it. Tomorrow I’ll get it quilted and send it back out west!
the basketball ended up being my favorite thing about this quilt.
Thanks for looking.
Up next. 4 double sided Dr. Seuss themed crib quilts. I can’t wait to do these. They are going to go fast. That’s how basically 8 quilts got designed. It was my sons idea for a friends upcoming baby shower. Stay tuned.

This is one of the most spectacular individualized T-shirt quilts I have seen. Love love the basketball and net (was it appliqued or printed?) the photos of friends and him, and the amazing swimmer at the bottom (did you design?) He will cherish it for a lifetime.

Here's a couple more pictures of the process. In the second picture, I was just looking at how the net was going to look against the ball.
Both this picture and the swimmer at the bottom were clipart I found online. My nephew's strongest and favorite swim stroke is the breast stroke and this was the best picture that I could find that I liked. I modified the water to more than just a line.
and Thank you for your kind words and compliments.
