Laura's T-Shirt Quilt

Here is a T-Shirt quilt I pieced and quilted for a customer. She brought me 22 T-shirts to put into the quilt. A couple of the blocks I pieced from a couple of shirts that had small logos on them. The sashing is black Kona Cotton that nicely sets each block apart from the next and frames it well also. Laura's school colors are Royal Blue and Yellow, so the borders of quilt brought these colors in. In high school, Laura was active in volleyball, cheerleading, and environmental projects. What a neat memory to have.

The backing is a marbled black quilted with a varigated thread in a meandering pattern. The texture of the meandering is so appealing. I was still working on hand sewing the binding at the time of this picture.

Each block was 14 x 14 inches of T-shirt reinforced with lightweight interfacing. The quilting then really puts it in place. This quilt will last for many, many years. The quilt is reversible and work in to many decor ideas. The overall quilt size is 93 x 93 inches. Laura's high school memories are stitched to good use and will keep her warm for years to come.
