JuliaDay Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I just finished this last week for a client. Her son is graduating from Grad school. He was in the Peace Corp and collected t shirts from all over. He married an African lady, so the mom also included Ashanti (sp) symbols on the back. She did this with a dye discharge method. We used highlites purple thread front and back. It blended in well with all of the traditional african frabics that the mom used (she purchased on a trip over to visit her son. We used Quilters Dream 100% cotton batting. Quilted very nice but it produces a bit too much lint for my tastes (and nose!). The pattern is my etch a sketch. Perfect for those manley quilts that need something besids hearts and flowers. Wahoo! I attached 2 photos and also put the kodak gallery link for all of them. http://www.kodakgallery.com/Slideshow.jsp?mode=fromshare&Uc=9fixzhjx.ccyzzl8h&Uy=ovo67h&Ux=1&UV=385361811396_110517654209 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
