​Great quilt and super fabric choice for the back!

You are the best aunt EVER! I love how you incorporated so many aspects of your niece's life on both front and back ... not to mention how well you put together the various sizes on the front!

If/when I ever attempt a t-shirt quilt, I'll look to this one as my model!

Love that quilt and especially the Friday Night Lights block. I live in Odessa, TX where the book/movie was from. Nothing like it was portrayed in my opinion. Beautiful quilt and really like the back.

i just took each logo and cut it in a multiple of 4 (with seam allowance) so they are all 12.5X12.5 or 8.5X12.5 or 4.5X8.5... You get the idea. When I had that done I actually took graph paper and cut out the appropriate shapes and then I asked my DH (aka partner in crime) to make it work, incorporating a cool fabric as a fill in where he needed it. Below is a picture of what my husband did.

You made a complicated layout look so easy. Don't we enjoy when we give a quilt the recipient does go a little crazy??
