finally finished. graduation is only a few weeks away. learned not to leave elastic on and try to sew over it. left a lot of missed stitches. had to go back and resew on my small machine. it is 70 x 100. also have to give a bill. haven't decided how much to charge. talked to local lqs and since it is both pantograph and free hand it would fall between prices.

It's great. Are the little squares some of the labels? I love your quilting.

Looks wonderful, he will enjoy it.

dkbeck 04-22-2010 08:41 AM

i just dropped it off to the mom. she was in awe. loved it. and yes they are the tags off some of the underwear, the different brands and sizes. she still wants one for herself out of the leftovers. told her it might be a while.

pollyjvan9 04-22-2010 09:24 AM

What a novel idea. I have used all kinds of used fabrics, but never thought of underwear!

butterflywing 04-22-2010 11:50 AM

funniest thing i ever heard of :mrgreen: . has she been saving them up his whole life, or what? :roll:

What a great quilt. I never would have guessed it was underwear. :-D

Pickles 04-23-2010 08:12 PM

You did a stunning job on this quilt, and I see nothing wrong
what so ever with using Boxers to quilt with, they made a
beautiful Quilt :thumbup:

Faye Wicker 04-23-2010 09:41 PM

Great use of fabric, but how do I get the men in my life to switch to cotton boxers? Did you have to cut them up before
they were finished with? :lol: I'd have been tempted.

theresse 04-24-2010 01:22 PM

I would never have thought of it, Its a real neat design, I love your Qting to "free as a bird" Theresse

sewmuchmore 04-24-2010 02:18 PM
