While I was wasting time on Pinterest one afternoon I found a few patterns for a t-shirt quilt. I didn't really like any of the patterns but I thought that it would be a great idea for a gift for Fred when he graduated. I took my time coming up with my own pattern and trying to figure out all the details. This would be the largest sewing project I have taken on and I was very nervous about it. I gathered up all of Fred's t-shirts that he had gotten during school and started cutting away. This was so time consuming and I really only had during Blaiden's nap to work on it so it was taking a while. I was about 3/4 of the way done cutting when Fred walked in on me working and figured everything out. I was a little disappointed because I wanted it to be a surprise but this gave me the freedom to also work on it at night after Blaiden went to bed.
It was so much work but I am so happy with the final product. It turned out a little larger then I thought (my math was a little off). In the end I had to take it to Missouri without the hem finished but I'm okay with that now knowing how much work I actually did get done. I will finish it, hopefully before winter.
This is the last picture I have of the quilt, before the batting, tying, and hem, but you get the idea.
It is taking up almost the entire dining room.
Looks great lady!
