Even w/the sashing I still had to undo some of them and resew. Pat your self on the back and keep on going girl. You not only got the bug you got the tallent to back it up

Thank you!! But I will admit, that I sewed a 12 inch block in the wrong direction AFTER I had sewed the strip to two others. So it was smack in the middle! All I can say is a seam ripper is my friend! It took me a while, but I got it out, then sewed back in correctly and the seams matched. I think that was the hardest thing on this project.

Thanks again!

A t-shirt quilt for my daughter. She graduated high school and is off to Michigan State University in the fall.

It will be a reversible quilt. One side is all of her high school t-shirts and a very special t-shirt that belonged to her grandfather who passed away last year. The other side will be all MSU logo's/material.

My first quilt I called Barb's Illusion (snicker) and my daughters quilt will be called "Past to Present" I am re-washing the t-shirts as we speak!

I'm stoked!
