A quilt a day...

WOW! Yesterday, it had been planned that Heather from work would come over to start the t shirt quilt she planned on making as a 2nd anniversary surprise for her husband. The second anniversary is cotton, and he is a huge music man, so very appropriate to use his and her old concert t shirts. Heather had not done any sewing in her adult life and had no idea where to start, but with a little hands on guidance, she took off like gang busters, and finished the whole thing (minus the tieing off of the corners) in 9 hours. We ended up cramming it all into one day as we couldn't find a time for us to meet again before the big day. She wanted to wider than a typical queen size so they wouldn't fight over the covers which I thought was very wise. Below is a shot. I feel privileged to have helped her make her great idea become a reality. Great Job, Heather! In case anyone is interested, we used 2 king size super high thread count for the front and back material. This made things very simple as we could just cut strip after strip from the one sheet knowing we would have enough as long as we kept cutting down the sheet lengthwise and not width wise. She even got the sheets on clearance for $9 each...what a deal!
