What made you choose the pattern?
My DH had all these work shirts and "special" T-shirts he didn't wear anymore but didn't want to get rid of. So I decided to try to make him a t-shirt quilt.
Did you finish the quilt? If not, why?
Yep!
What do you love (or hate) about the quilt?
I love the quilt because he was so thrilled.
What would you do differently next time?
I would use a type of heat bonding material so there wouldn't be so many puckers.
What was the most difficult aspect of the project?
Mostly not knowing what the heck I was doing. I had never done a quilt before and didn't know there were patterns and suggestions on how to do it.
I had cut the shirts different sizes to get the lettering or sayings and then had to figure out how to get it all to fit. Making the binding for the edge was hard but I managed to muddle through it.
What an experience!
