Need help deciding on pattern to use
I have shirts, some cotton and some are knits, that I plan to make a lap quilt for my aunt. These belonged to her deceased adult son. I had asked for t shirts, and had my plan in mind. I got no T shirts.
I have started cutting the backs of the shirts in 15 inch squares to get started on the project.
I do not have any pattern in mind as yet. I have made a few lap size quilts before but nothing complex.
What ideas do any of you have? All I know for the middle block I plan to Machine Embroidery a saw and hammer as that is what she put on his memorial stone, related to his trade as a carpenter.
I also received a couple of pairs of jeans as I wanted the pockets to use in this somehow.
also on the knit shirts, don't I need to back those with fusible interfacing?
any suggestions are appreciated. thank you Juanita
