Here is one of my finished projects.
It is my daughters t-shirt quilt that got scorched in the fire. I took it apart, washed the usable parts in oxyclean and rebuilt the quilt with a couple of other t's that she still had...she has enough t's for three more quilts, one of her years at KU , one of her years at ASU and one archeology quilt.

So glad you were able to salvage some of the quilts! Kind of gives them even more value doesnt it!

Wow that's a lot of effort for you to go to, it will be great once you get it all put back together!

Well done, I am so glad you managed to save your quilt, such a lot of effort and time goes into each one.

I am happy for you. Elle

What dedication to redo the quilt. It looks great.

I actually like it better now. It is like a phoenix, coming back strong and vibrant. You did such a nice job with it. Last time I was at Joanne's, I noticed they were carrying a fire-resistant batting.

What a great mom you are to do this not just once, but twice! The quilt is great, and I'm sure she loves it!
