T-Shirt Quilt

I just finished this giant T-Shirt Quilt for a friend. It was fun cutting all the shirts, adding stabilizer to the back of each and sashing them. Once they were cut and the sashing added it was fun deciding how to lay them out. This quilt was 30 shirts and was giant. The blocks had to be 15" in order to get all of the designs. Typically I would make them 12" but these shirts had large designs on them. I only had to lose a little of the design on one of the squares. Since it was so big I decided to tie the quilt but future quilts will probably be put together with a quilt as you go method I am anxious to try.

Baby Emily's Quilt

Before my granddaughter Emily was born I made this quilt for her using fabric from Moda's Ruby Fabric line. I love the colors and was happy to finally have a project to make with the charm pack I bought. I added some additional yardage from a store in St. George. (Sorry I don't remember which shop it was. My daughter and I went on a quilt shop shopping spree and visited so many that day!)

It was made in standard rows with a strip between rows 2 and 3 on which I added three flowers and Emily's name. There is also sashing on both sides of the strip and a border all around the outside in the same fabric. Then an additional border in a contrasting fabric all from the Moda line. I forgot to take a picture of the back but it was just a plain pink fabric.

I quilted every other block with a heart and then a flower using my regular sewing machine. The quilting isn't perfect - I'm still learning - but it was quilted with love!

I finished the quilt before my daughter's baby shower except for the binding. In order to "give" it to my daughter at her shower I used my serger and serged all the way around the quilt to finish it temporarily until I had time to bind it.

The other day I finally got around to binding the quilt and will officially give the blanket to Emily  as soon as I see her next!
