Finally finished with the tshirt quilt!

Man, this sure was a tiresome project. My machine was not happy about it at all, but I am finally finished with it. There are 56 squares in it to make it a generous queen, and the tshirts that I got were great. They really made it a fun quilt. The label and the backing color were both specified by my customer (a great, really understanding woman who trusted me- a complete stranger- with her son's memories... yikes). I think it turned out pretty nice, though, and I am looking forward to tackling the next one that comes my way!

First tshirt blanket for sale!

Here is the first tshirt blanket I made for a customer. The girl I made it for was awesome and totally trusted me, which I really appreciated. This is what a blanket will look like if you order one, at least more like this than the other tshirt blanket I made. If you are interested just let me know.

Interested?

So I have now decided, due to a lot of interest, to make and sell customized t-shirt blankets. I am in the process of making my second one for a girl whom I never met before she contacted me. I will post pictures of that one as soon as I am done, but it is pretty exciting! So if you are interested let me know and we will see if I can help you out with preserving your memories (and your t-shirts) with a special blanket you can have for years. Feel free to email me if you want more information or have any questions about anything (that includes the baby blankets as well!).

T-Shirt blanket

So, this blanket was quite a challenge. A friend of mine wanted to turn her old t-shirts into a blanket, something I have never done before, so she just brought them over, cut them out, and we started putting them together. It was really hard to get an exact fit so we had to improvise once we actually started sewing, but I think it turned out OK. I know how to do it next time much more quickly and easily, and it might look a little better. Luckily she was a great, not picky customer and we had fun working on it together.
