24th Finish for 2017
Grandson's Little League T-shirt Quilt
|
I have made t-shirt quilts before but I didn't expect this one to be so large! I don't think he missed one season plus he was on the allstars every year! It's hard to see the quilting but I put large circles on the t-shirts and called them "quilted curve balls!"

What to do with an extra t-shirt?
Make a pillow, of course!
I just had to add a pillowcase to make it a matching set!
|
 |
What to do with an extra patch?
Put it on the back of the pillow, of course!
I put a hidden zipper on the back of the pillow.

Back
I bought this baseball fabric a few years ago. I planned to use it on the t-shirt quilts but I don't remember what my plan was because I didn't have enough of either fabric for the backing, so I combined them.
Quilt Info
Size: 84" x 96"
Batting: 100% Polyester light weight
Quilted on my Innova sitdown longarm
NOTE: The only fabric I purchased in 2017 was the green and red for the borders.
I learned from making this quilt that I am going to really have to pace myself when I make the rest of them. It takes a lot of planning to tell a story with t-shirts and it took me a while to decide on the layout and this one seemed best to be laid out in columns by year.
I have 8 grandchildren and lots of t-shirts so I can see that I am going to need to live a long time in order to get all of these done. I guess I'd better get a good exercise routine for strength and stamina!!
