A bit of Thursday

We've got this quilt on the bed right now (baby spit up on the other one..):

And I find myself spending a lot of time thinking about it at 12, 3, and 5 in the morning as I pace back and forth around the room trying to get Jack to burp or fall back asleep.  It was a good quilt.  Some awesome memories in the t-shirts:
Where I studied in Kyoto, 1999-2000.

Heaven on earth (class of '01, Washburn~).
I have also been pondering the fabrics but I have a separate post brewing on that topic...

And so I decided to take one of George's old-but-loved tees

And play around a bit..

He is helping-- pulled out a big pile of fabrics for me to choose from.  Too sweet.
Have you been crafty yet today?

  1. Do you use a stabilizer on the t-shirts?

    1. Hey Becky~
      I like to use light weight iron on interfacing.

  2. Great job, I love this! I made my hubby a tshirt quilt, it is one of his favorites!!! The next one I might use stabilizer, because knit material is so different than quilting cotton...it does have a soft feel to it though...

  3. Grizzly T-shirt is amazing! What a great way to keep it around. I have been doing a lot of improvisation block building this last week. Love having the freedom to mix it up....
