T-shirt quilt for a friend…

So a dear friend of mine was telling me how she had all of the shirts from her sorority.  It’s been over 30 years since she pledged.  So I decided to make her a T-shirt quilt with some of them.  

Well I started on this last year, and “life” got in the way.  But I finally got it done!  Tomorrow it gets shipped out tot he east coast.  


I found a African wax print that went perfect with the pink and green colors.  The blocks on either end of the center t-shirt were made with the logo from several polo shirts: 



I decided I needed to put some type of label on it.  At first I thought I’d embroider a label on my embroidery machine.  But that was going to take to long.  So I decided to print one on my computer.  I purchased some photo fabric from a local store.  



I used Microsoft Word to generate the label and printed it on my printer.  I even soaked it in water to ensure that it was permanent.  And it was!!!!  I left a 1/2” border around it, which I tucked under and hand stitched in place


I’m hoping she likes it.  

Happy Sewing !!!!
