So my big project of summer 2011 was my t-shirt quilt. I finished my portion in August and gave it to the quilter, looking forward to seeing the finished product. I waited and waited and then the holidays came and things got busy and then I waited and waited. But last Friday I got the call that it was done and I could pick it up!
Here is what it looked like when I sent it off.

Here is the final product!

The point of this quilt is to preserve t-shirts that have sentimental value to Paul and me. So in this quilt are t-shirts from high school, college, travels etc. I love how it came out! This is definitely a "use it" quilt. It's not going on a wall, it should be in your lap, keeping you warm as often as possible! I have already curled up with it while reading a good book and it felt great!

T-shirts from our travels.

Here is the onesie I gave Paul when I told him he would be a daddy!

A fun project, a proud accomplishment and a great keepsake!
