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.
I am so excited to have my Silence In The Library quilt top assembled!!! The original quilt design by Jeanie Payment along with almost all of the blocks are available over at FandomInStitches.com. 8 of the blocks are my own design. I will post links to those for you in the block descriptions. All of my Doctor Who patterns can be found here . The only adjustment I made to Jeanie's original design is the crack in the wall above the TARDIS. More information on that block can be found here . So here's a little tour of the quilt.
