Boy we blew it!

So much for us posting every Monday!  Hopefully you weren't too terribly disappointed when we didn't have a new post last week.

This week at the shop we are working on T-shirt quilts!  Yep, you heard that right - T-shirt quilts.  Only we like to be able to do them differently.  Everyone has seen the usual shirt quilt setting of uniform squares sashed with and without cornerstones.  What about using a regular quilt pattern for them?  It can be done!  We have a customer who pushed herself to do more creative settings and it has really inspired us to open the door for some non-traditional layouts for the t-shirt quilt.

So, this week I'll be working on creating a unique layout for some shirts of my husbands.  Don't worry, I didn't take them without his knowledge or permission.  Currently the shirts have been cut up the sides and across the shoulders to give me a nice piece to work with for choosing the sizes for each design and applying stabilizer before I begin cutting them into usable blocks.

Hmmm...maybe I should really get back to work on those so we can have some pictures of the work in progress!

Happy Monday to you and if you find that you (or your child) have an overabundance of t-shirts that you would like to have turned into a longer lasting quilt we can help you with that!

As always, Happy Quilting!
