Last year I made a t-shirt quilt with my college band shirts using this awesome tutorial.
While I was working on it, my friend wanted me to make one for him. Over Christmas break he gathered all the shirts he wanted to use. I had to get creative with some of the squares because he's so broad-shouldered that some of the designs barely fit within my 12.5" quilting square. However with a little ingenuity, I was able to use every shirt he gave me. I finished the top today.
Next week JoAnn's is having a good deal on the backing fabric I want to use. So, that's on the agenda for next weekend. The walking foot for my sewing machine came in a few weeks ago, so I'm excited to try it out. Machine quilting my quilt was a pain in the butt, so I'm hoping that it will make things easier.
