I was given a sweatshirt to use in two tshirt quilts that I was commissioned to make for Christmas. It was from a friend of the two sons who were to be recipients of the quilts. It was suggested at first to divide the pieces and put a little on each, but I couldn't bear to cut it up. (I only had one sweatshirt to deal with, the rest were all regular T-shirts.) I wound up keeping it as it was, turning it into an envelope pillow with a ruffle and creating a poem to add to the occasion. It was nice and thick, but I still used interfacing to keep it's shape. It was a definite hit with the parents, who requested the quilts. The pillow was an added bonus that they all fell in love with. Here's a pic of the pillow, poem and one of the quilts...
