cathyh Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 This is my first T-Shirt quilt that I could not have finished without this forum!! I made many errors in the beginning with cutting the t shirts but managed to get it together finally. I quilted this with rainbows in the borders and sashing and highlights in the t-shirts, bottom line on the back, Hobbs wool batting. This quilt is for my niece Alexandra who grew up in NYC, and her Mom ( my sister) and Dad survived it all!! They are real city people. Thanks for being here, all of you!! PS. Sorry for the blurry pictures! I think they are too big, and iPhone is not working for me, I will use my camera next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathyh Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Thank you all for your wonderful comments. I hope she likes it. Even though she grew up in the city she spent much of her summers in the country. This turned out pretty " earthy", with cherrywood fabrics and a woodsy batik in the sashing.
