Madisson's T-shirt Quilt

Although our niece Madisson received a graduation quilt from Emily last year, she also wanted a t-shirt quilt made of all her cross-county shirts.  Emily and I put together the layout on our February sewing retreat earlier this year. With such wild colored shirts two heads were definitely better than one when trying to figure out how to "coordinate" them all.  Emily had it quilted, brought it to our parents' 50th weekend and I put on the binding quick so we could give it to Madisson for an early b-day present (also thanks to her parents).

She was excited to finally get it.










Notes:
  • Cute orange dotted Swiss for the binding.
  • Black and white polka dot backing.
  • Grey Kona for sashing.
  • Lots of crazy running shirts. She had to pick out her favorites and some were left behind because of space and design.
  • My oldest daughter's t-shirt quilt for another idea.
  • Quilted by Lynn Peterson in a lovely loopy swirl pattern.

  1. Small world. I graduated from Hastings High. Orange is a hard color to work with! Nice job!

    1. We didn't mind the orange so much as her crazy tie-dye shirts that weren't in the same color scheme. But we got it to work.
