Finish It Up Friday...T-Shirts and Memories.

Making a quilt for one person often snowballs into making quilts for other people.  Word of mouth, that is all it takes sometimes!
I made a quilt for a gal I went to school with long ago.
She teaches with someone who had a quilting "need."
 This gal's brother was killed in an accident and they wanted to use his t-shirts to create a memorable gift for family.  She needs 9 quilts.  These are the first 2 done.
 I really don't mind t-shirt quilts.  I've heard several people lament that people ask them to make those for them.  I use a Pellon interfacing specifically for knits that still has drape.
 I know these quilts will be loved!
I've finished one more and have nearly half of another quilted.

  1. How nice of you to take care of these folks! The quilts look very nice, I like the darker background. My niece just contacted me to see if I might make her a tshirt quilt...so I may have to get all the hot tips from you!!

  2. Tee shirt quilts fill a real need when someone has passed away. Good on you for doing this for the family, it certainly is a big job to make nine quilts.

  3. How lovely of you to make 9 quilts for the family! It is a lovely idea to make quilts from his t-shirts for memories. I really like how these 2 have turned out, nice and cosy looking! Popping in from Crazy Mom Quilts as part of my blog comment challenge - 300 in 30days!

  4. I'm not a huge fan of making t-shirt quilts (part of what I love about quilting is the FABRIC...) but gosh, I am a huge fan of loving on people with sewing! Great job on this. I am so sorry for your friend's loss, and so thankful that you are able to bring her and her family some comfort (for years to come!) with your gift.
