No, not the t-shirt time from the tv show "Jersey Shore"...the quilt kind! I have been meaning to feature this t-shirt quilt I finished right before Ben was born but I have been to busy posting many, many photos of him to post pictures of a quilt. How can it compare to my precious baby? Haha...JK...
This is probably the 6th or 7th one of these I have made. This one was for a friend from college and it not coincidentally contains many of the same shirts that are included in my t-shirt quilts. It was like a stroll down memory lane to put this thing together!
I knew I had to get this thing done before Ben was born (it is hard to remember those days when I didn't even know his name yet or what he looked like or when he was coming!). I was a crazy sewing lady for a few days, certain that labor was imminent. Well, as you all know, I was wrong. It never became imminent. Fortunately, I got it done weeks before I got induced.
This one is different and better than all the others I have made because I quilted it with my sewing machine instead of tying it. I also used the "good" binding technique which is much nicer and more professional looking than the old way I did it. All around, it seems more durable than a tied quilt. It was also the largest I have made. It is 6 blocks long and 5 wide. Previously, my largest had been 5 x 5.
This post has made me nostalgic for sewing and quilting. Ben has really cramped my style in that area!
