Thank you for sharing your quilt as you go along. I'm very interested in the process, I'm to start one soon for my niece using her sports uniforms.

I decided to use some ticking and similar stripes for sashing, here is my start on putting together the blocks:

I'm also tossing in some flannel shirt scraps and since the theme of the Farm is Americana, I am using a great fabric with that theme for some extra space fillers and for my border

Nice job....
my hubby was just asking me about making his from concert shirts....Problem is there are probably around 200...maybe I will start on it this summer

That's going to be gorgeous when it's done! Those scraps do wonders. You've inspired me to cut up our tee-shirts. (My dh is still attached to some of his from the 70's though.)

Got the top all together and the border on. Too big to get it all in one photo but this gives you the general idea. Also got the back ready but didn't get a photo yet.
Tomorrow back meets top!!

The small blue patch in the top row is from DH's music store, it says StoneCreek Music!

Here is the fleece backing and some photos of the quilting, which is seperate from the quilting I did on the tshirt blocks. This is just for attaching the front to the backing and I used randomly spaced stars that I freehanded over the quilt top. It's all finished now and goes off to the venue tomorrow, well, today actually, lol.
