T-shirt quilts

Several months ago I was asked if I could make a t-shirt quilt for a friend who lost her husband a couple of years ago. She showed up with a laundry basket full of t-shirts. She wanted a Queen size quilt but lives in Florida so we didn't want it to be too heavy. We went through the t-shirts to prioritize the ones she really wanted in the main quilt and said I could do what I wanted with the rest and the quilt pattern was totally up to me.  Well not only did we end up with what turned out to be more like a King size quilt but 2 lap quilts and a pillow! I used every t-shirt including any logos or images that were on the sleeves or pockets.  I used the lightest batting I could find and I'm so happy with how they came out!!!   The pictures aren't the best but I did the best I could with all of the rainy days we've been having and they needed to make their way to Florida this week. So here we are, the last several months of sewing.

Clone Force 99 Echo Hunter Wrecker Still to come - Tech, Crosshair, Omega, Lula and maybe some others like Cid and the Marauder.

Tell Your Friends!

Julie and the Phantoms was released on Netflix just a bit over a year ago. My daughter and I have loved the show and I can't even begin to tell you how many times we (I) have rewatched it!! The characters are amazing, the music is amazing, what's not to LOVE!!! Now, if Netflix would just renew it for Season 2!!!! I was inspired to design some quilt blocks based on some of the characters.  Here is what I have so far. Pattern Links: Luke  12x12 Alex  12x12 Reggie  12x12 Julie  12x12 Title  24x16 If you use my patterns please send me photos of your finished blocks or post them in the comments, I'd love to see them!! Additional patterns coming in 2022!! So far there will be The Orpheum, Carrie, Flynn and Nick (designed, just need to be tested before posting). Was also thinking of adding Caleb and Carlos as well.
