I find it funny that the past three quilts I’ve done are all for different Lindas! This one is Linda S’s t-shirt quilt.
I’ve never seen a t-shirt quilt like this before- it is so original. She put the background fabric together then appliquéd the t-shirt panels on the top. The edges are trimmed out in black bias. Don’t you love how much energy the t-shirt blocks have scattered at different angles like that?
This quilt is for an aunt in her family, and each shirt is from a niece or nephew. Take a look at how she put the name of each child on their representative t-shirt. Really original idea, Linda!
Linda asked me not to do any quilting on the shirts themselves. For this background I did a double marble freehand design to bring out the dot motif. It is a fun, high energy quilt that will be a cherished gift.

Hey, Bonnie- WELCOME! I’m so glad you popped in from Judy’s blog. She’s one of my faves, for sure. I saw the photos of your twins on your blog. Too Cute!

I’m glad you are back in your home after all the evacuations. I hope the rest of the year is calm!
