    I have some 4" squares that I"m mailing to you in the AM. All I ask is that you post a photo of the finished project. It is exciting that new quilters want to take up the hobby and I am one to encourage you to a fun and fantastic start. Sara

    I am truly sorry for the loss of your daughter. I can't even imagine how you must feel. But making a memory quilt of her t shirts would be a great memento. I have seen quilts made by cutting the front of the t shirt with the logo into a square about 8 or 10 inches square. Then in the sashing, you can tie together the dominant colors. The blocks are plain, so the sashing could be a pieced design. It may be a good idea to iron-on some interfacing to the back of each t shirt square to help it avoid stretching, as often happens with knits. Try to find a common color, or use your daughters favorite color. I've seen college age kids make quilts using t shirts that are just to wonderful to throw out, but wouldn't be caught wearing them either. Sara
