number two

Here is graduation quilt #2 done. It's definately not my favorite but I think he will love it. It's memories so it's different for everyone. I'm not athletic AT ALL so I won't even own a jersey.:)
I boxed in the squares and then did stippling on the outer edge. This didn't take as long to quilt as I thought it would. His open house is the end of the month so I needed to get it done.

This is my hubby slaving away at mother's day.:) I LOVED the apron look on him! He loved wearing it because he didn't get messy.
I also wanted to thank you guys for ALL your nice comments. They keep me going!! Plus, thank you everyone for your opinions on my weird or good post. The comments HELP. Gives me things to think about and things to try. I just LOVE hearing from you. I'm doing a little sewing here and there with my in-laws in town but not a ton. I'm having a BLAST with my mother-in-law though!! We are shopping our little hearts out.:) Hope you have a great day!

  1. Wow - like the t-shirt quilt! I think it's interesting how much texture was created by leaving the logo part loose...

  2. I have always wanted to make a T-Shirt quilt for some of the kiddo's we are close to.... My only experience with this was a memory quilt I made for a wedding quilt & I ordered a T-Shirt several months before the wedding from the resort they were going to on their honeymoon. It was not easy working with the fabric even with the interfacing. I know the owner of your quilt will love it!
