US Navy T-Shirt Quilt for DH
I've been working on this fella for a little while... Used EQ8 to create the layout.. read several previous threads about stabilizer, cotton vs. poly/cotton, batting, etc... Thank you fellow QBer's for the wonderful shared experience and advice - it really helped with my 1st T-shirt quilt.
This was made from a few of my DH's Navy T-shirts dating back 10-35 years ago.. The two small rows of insignia graphics in the center column represent the chronological order of his duty stations. Decided to use up a bunch more on the back.. My DH loves the entire quilt - and it sure tells his military story well.. There are another 15-20 t-shirts left so I'm guessing there might be another quilt to be made soon!
Thanks for looking!

I used a frixion pen making one X from corner to corner - then used my walking foot and guide.. Dont look too close it gets a little bit wonky but overall I'm pleased. The extra weight of the knit fabric gave me more to wrestle with through my DSM - but my Juki TL2200qvp mini didn't skip a stitch!
