T-Shirt Quilt...

I gotta tell ya,
this is looking better
and better all the time.

I have the back and front pieced.
Yes, a pieced back...how could I not?

front sneak peek...

 back sneak peek...

Now to sew it all together.
Then on to pinning and tying. 

I may not use batting.
Waiting on word from the commissioner.
edited to add:  yes, she wants batting, so batting it is.
Is that what one who commissions the quilt is called???
Then, would that make me the commissionee???
Yes?  No?
{grin}

The back is denim,
which is a lot heavier to work with
than what I'm used to handling.
It's hard on my neck and shoulders,
so I'm having to take a few
more breaks than normal.

It's a dreary, dismal day.
Perfect for spending time
with my Naomi Janome.
Though, gotta tell ya,
she was acting a bit
temperamental earlier.
Breaking thread every 3-4 inches.
huh?
Once I changed the needle,
she was back to her sweet sewing self.

I'm anxious to get the quilt done.
Some fun projects waiting.

I just love those T-shirt quilts...especially for those young-uns who wear all those Ts. You're doing a great job! I don't envy you plowing through denim though, tough going! Happy quilting!

It really looks like it would be a hard project to do. I am sure like everything you do it will turn out great. I can't wait to see what you move on too.

It is looking good and a fun project. Can you imagine how fun it would have been to keep our old t's from the 60's and 70's, lol.
