This quilt was made from civil war fabrics and quilted with a light colored variegated thread. The quilting design is a swirl design that really adds a lot of movement and doesn’t overpower the fabrics.

This t-shirt quilt was made for a young man who just graduated high school. The quilt is quite large so it was difficult to get a full size picture, but here are a couple pictures.

If you’ll notice there are some blue and black plaid fabrics in the quilt. These were from a pair of his flannel house pants. How wonderful those were to include them in the very special quilt. I believe this quilt will be going off to college with him.
I had a great time making this t-shirt quilt, he has some great t-shirts and I wish him well at college.

This is a quilt I made for my niece, Alissa, back in 2011. No matter when she graduated or when the quilt was completed, it’s still beautiful. I love it as much as she does.
