    Last week a good friend contacted me that she would like a quilt made from her grandfathers tshirts.....I took on the request, considering I've made dozens of tshirt quilts. When she brought them over, her pile consisted of 4 grey shirts, 2 white shirts, a blue one and a red one. Hmmmmm, now the challenge began. What to do with limited colors. And not many to boot!, lol. Anyway, this is what I came up with........Hope you like it. She absolutely LOVED it. And I'm on the proud side too... :)

    The dark spots in those few blocks are where I had to incorperate a couple of pockets to have enough squares........
