"Walk This Way"

Aerosmith T-shirt Christmas Quilt for my nephew. I'm so proud of myself...I got this done and wrapped 10 days before Christmas! I was dreading doing it since his sister's was a bear to work on. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t257388.html

I changed the type of backing and this one is about half the size of the Kappa Delta quilt...so that helps too. I won't mind tackling his Eric Clapton tees now...gonna call that one "Slow Hand"

Love Aerosmith and love this quilt. DH has been after me to make a quilt from his concert Tee's. Maybe I should try for his birthday--that's only 10 months away. Just might get it done in time. Great job on both quilts!

I am a classic rock fan too; words cannot describe how awesome this quilt is!

KimS 12-16-2014 03:23 PM

That's awesome! I should do one like that and use my son's Tennessee Volunteers t-shirts.

Thanks everyone...I think he'll love it.

Neat quilt! Nice gift. I saw Aerosmith a couple years ago (love their music) and I've been wanting to make a quilt based on one of their songs. It's on my "to do" list.

That turned out great .

melodyr 12-17-2014 05:36 AM

Thanks everyone! I have the Clapton tees...and his Elton John tees and a bunch of others as well, but he'll have to wait....got a couple other quilts to make before I go back to t-shirt quilts.

Great job. I'm sure he will love it.

Nice quilt, I've been waiting for a son in law to send his tee's to me so I can back his quilt.

tessagin 12-18-2014 08:17 AM

great looking quilt!

wildyard 12-18-2014 08:43 AM

Ohh I am jealous!! I love Aerosmith and would love to have this quilt! You did a great job!!!

blueangel 12-18-2014 09:03 AM

Looks wonderful

melodyr 12-18-2014 03:16 PM

I thought I might post this quilt on Aerosmith's Facebook page, but they don't let you upload images...(hiss!...boo!) I hope he likes it as much as you all did...I knew that I wanted flames for the sashing before I even started...I couldn't see anything but flames for a background...it just had to be.

ccthomas 12-18-2014 07:08 PM

He's going to love his Aerosmith quilt.

Caswews 12-18-2014 08:16 PM

Awesome for sure !

melodyr 12-19-2014 05:41 AM

Thanks! I had fun making it 'cause I like Aerosmith too!

Scakes 12-19-2014 06:38 AM

Nice quilt!

I've been saving some of my dh's tee shirts for a quilt. There is a lot of them! So many that starting something has been quite scary. I like the fact that this one is smaller and I think you have given me an idea. Why not make lap quilts and give 1 to him, and the others to the kids and grandkids? My Christmas shopping for next year could already be started.

melodyr 12-19-2014 02:00 PM

This one was about a large lap quilt or a small twin size (he wears a 3X shirt) I have 4 Eric Claptons and 1 BB King, so I'll add that one to the Claptons and call it 'Riding With the King' (look up the video on YouTube) There's a handful of Elton Johns, so that one will be 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' and have a yellow brick road running through it. Then, there's a handful of misc. stuff that will just have to wait for more inspiration.

Fotoula 12-19-2014 02:35 PM

Well done!!!!!!!
