This is probably the most attractive t-shirt quilt I have ever seen! I love your design and colors! I assume yellow and black were your daughter's school colors. They worked in beautifully in your quilt! Awesome job!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Great job! After doing this quilt, you should not be afraid to tackle any pattern! Your daughter is so lucky to have such a great mom.

Well here is the top finally finished. It is laying on my King Size Bed. Still have back to do and then off to LAQ after I find one.

I think that is one of the nicest T-shirt quilts I have seen. I love the yellow, black and white.

It's fabulous. I wouldn't even know how to begin a T-shirt quilt.

I don't see how you did such a nice job with tshirts! They aren't easy to work with!

That is wonderful. I keep telling my nephew to give me his t-shirts instead of throwing them out. He has a zillion from volleyball tournaments. I love the way you did the patterns around the edges of each shirt. Makes it a one-in-a-million. Congratulations. If you can do that, you can do anything.

I agree here - what a beautiful quilt - but what an undertaking for a first quilt! I have mine to make for my granddaughter yet and my grandson - so I have it to look forward to yet. I may be in the same boat before I'm done - and to think it will call for at least 2 maybe more before the grands get through highschool - they keep adding more shirts from their activities they are in.
