Default T-shirt quilt for grandson

No. 2 grandson saved a few t-shirts from high school and requested a quilt be made from them. I was going to make a twin size, but it became more of a queen size by the time it was completed. This quilt was given to him on Christmas Day. He was thrilled. Now I need to start planning him a Marine theme quilt as he leaves January 6 for the West Coast for "boot camp" . Seems to be following in his older brother's foot steps.

Great quilt and one of my favourite ways to do t shirts blocks with the shadow effect!

You did a great job on this quilt. I like the shadow effect with the black edges. I send my wishes to your grandson for successful completion of Marine boot camp, and gratitude to him and his brother for serving our country in the Marines.

A great quilt.

Serving our country is a great thing to do. I had 2 late brothers and a young grandson serve as Marines. One in the Army. One a deputy sheriff.
