T-Shirt Quilt WIP for E

i've been wanting to make E a t-shirt quilt since i learned how to sew

i've been saving his shirts and we had a ton

i let him pick out his favorites

normally, i think these are sports themed

but he hasn't really played a lot of sports

so, his are just his favorites

the blocks are 12" square

stabilized and ready to assemble

(i forgot to say, I used wax paper as a temporary stabilizer, it was a lot

cheaper than heat-n-bond)

 old school shirt

 soccer shirt

 church shirt

 soccer

 church again, bible school

 just a favorite

 his very favorite and mine too, and Pat's as well

 summer camp

 a favorite

 a favorite

 church, bible school

 a favorite, cause his maw maw bought it

 a favorite cause the yellow glows in the dark

 back of the summer camp shirt

i'll assemble these into a 12" block and it will make the 15 block.

next is borders for each block

i'm still around......

see proof below.........

 these strips turned into........

 sewed together strips......and then into.......

2" squares.........then into.........

stay tuned.......

things are crazy here, school started back, trying to work out our routine all over again

E starts Martial Arts classes on Monday

and

i have an online class starting on Monday as well

it's a Exam Prep class for the AAPC state exam.

that's medical coding (CPT & ICD-9) codes.

i took the actual classes leading up to this exam prep class

nearly 2 years ago.  i've already started going over my books from that class

i'm not worried about the exam prep class, just the state exam

WISH ME LUCK!

Thanks ZiaMaria Designs!

where the scrappy binding went....

this was a MODA turnover pack called kansas winter

i got the pattern from here

oddly enough; she's using the same fabric line

i wished i would have put the dark border on first, then the light, it would show off my scrappy binding better....live and learn, right?
