Overjoyed! My first quilt finished...
#41
First, thank you everyone for your kind comments!! They are very, very much appreciated.
The quilt is about 42" by 50". It's a gift for my best friend (whose child wore the clothing). I didn't really follow a pattern, but I got the block idea from a quilt pattern called "Baby Craze." I made a larger version of the blocks and used far fewer!! Then the fine folks here helped me add a border. The center of each block, for the most part, is from a memorable or cute logo on a shirt front. (Someone else did the applique for me!!) I stabilized all the knits with a lightweight fusible interfacing. (I read a lot about t-shirt quilts!)
Each step I pretty much went through the same process: apprehension, study, a little dread, balking and then thorough enjoyment once I launched into it! So, every step was my favorite!
I am happy to say the quilt survived a trip through the washing machine intact and is now drying!

What is the name of the square you used?
I would hope you put it up as a wall hanging. Great job! :thumbup: :thumbup:
