T-Shirt Memories
Designed by Pat Burnham
|
Planning
Pat recycled her daughter's t-shirts to create this fun
quilt that will bring back happy memories for many years to come. See
Pat's
Helpful Hints for preparing the T-shirt Blocks. She suggests that
small mementos your child has collected could be attached to the quilt.
Pat added an extra trim between the sashing
and the inner border, using 5/8" yellow grosgrain ribbon and a
wide zigzag machine stitch, after the quilting was finished. Do likewise
if you wish.
