I have finished up the t-shirt quilt that I have been working on and tomorrow I will be bringing it to it's owner. I have had these t-shirts for a while now and they sat and sat until I broke down and pulled them out and chopped them up. (I was really nervous to start!) I added lightweight fusible interfacing to the back of each t-shirt and chopped them to about 15"x 14". I framed out each t-shirt block with blue sashing that I cut at 1.75 inches. Then, I backed the blocks with my cotton batting and did the quilt as you go method on the t-shirt part with a quick free motion squiggle.
All the t-shirts are from athletic events that he had been in.
Many based in good old NJ. :)
I stitched in the ditch to attach the backing in the main lines across the quilt and around the squares.
All set to head to it's home.
I hope that my friend likes it since I am happy with how it turned out.
Quilt Stats:

And yay... I can cross another thing off my 100 Day Hustle list.
Edited to say... He loved it! Wohoo! And asked if he could give my numbers to his friends who would want the same.
I am linking up to Connie's Linky Party Tuesday at Freemotion by the River
