If you've been an avid reader of my away messages, you might have noticed that since camp, I've been working on my "t-shirt quilt". What is a t-shirt quilt you ask? A quilt whose patches are made from old t-shirts. Looking at it, or sleeping under it, is a fantastic journey down memory lane. It is not quite finished (because really, when was the last time I successfully completed a project, without a bit of procrastination first?) - but it looks quite good. All that is left is to do the edges around the quilt, which will be purple, the same color as the back of the quilt.
So understanding that its not entirely done, I got excited to share it, as it is now, with you...mainly so that you can be impressed :) And cause I think its fun for people to see t-shirts in my quilt, that they also have in their closets. Bonus points for you if you actually designed any of the shirts on my quilt!
This is a picture of the entire quilt

That is such a good idea! Now I have SOMETHING to do with my t-shirts as well! Thanks for the pictures.
