Thanks !! I figured when he gets bored with one side, he can flip it over. His mom helped me pick out the sashing and backing colors.
Since 2 of the center blocks were 14", I didn't realize this until I had already started cutting the squares 12-1/2" (duh !!). So I had to figure out how to work around them. That's how the center came to be. Took 2 days to figure it out.
Now, the 4 corners ended up as basic quilt blocks because she couldn't steal any more shirts from him and I needed it to be balanced (kinda anal that way).
I was actually pleased with how it turned out, using all those colored shirts and getting them balanced was fun to figure out.
I've been doing this method for 2-3 years now but have decided I want to learn more methods. I've already picked up a few tips so this is going to be so much fun !!!
