A (different kind of) T-Shirt Quilt

When most people think of T-Shirt Quilts, they think of the kind of T-Shirt Quilt made with all the logos, pictures, and "interesting" stuff from favorite T-Shirts.

When I make a T-Shirt Quilt, I'm usually using smallish squares cut from the solid-colored "plain" parts of T-shirts.

Here's one of the latest ... Just before quilting. I quilted it with variegated thread, and the rainbow-colored thread was just the thing for this quilt.

The colorful squares in this quilt were all cut from actual T-shirts, and the white squares were all cut from a cotton jersey-knit sheet.

Leaders and Enders

The leaders and enders are making an appearance again ... They may someday become a finished product after all! This one is still in progress ... More pictures soon, when it's done!

Pine baskets again ...

I've been working on another pine needle basket ... It's been a while since I finished the last couple little ones ...

Gingham in progress

I've got a plan for the finishing up of my gingham-sampler quilt pieces ...

Lots of cutting, patchwork-ing, and quilting is going on ... Hoping to finish soon!

Just finished Shirts and Jeans Quilt

This was a fun quilt to finish up this week.

I mentioned this one a couple weeks ago ...

Jeans squares, surrounded by little colorful squares of shirt fabrics. There are 42 jeans squares, and over 800 little colorful squares!

I've made several jeans quilts (see the "Jeans" label in my blog sidebar), but this is the first one I've made that included cotton shirt fabrics. The solids, plaids, stripes, and prints add a lot to the quilt.

This quilt measures 65" x 75", so it's nice and big. It's backed with new fleece, so it's warm and cozy.

For a little while, this quilt is available for sale on eBay.

When Friday comes, I'll be linking this post to Finish It Up Friday at CrazyMomQuilts, and I'll be interested to get some more great inspiration from other quilters' finishes that are linked there.

More Jeans & T-Shirts ...

I'm quilting again ... It's a Jeans-and-Shirt Quilt this time. More details later, when I have more pictures, and a bit more time to blog.

Knitting again ...

So, several weeks ago, I finished that pair of socks that I was knitting for a year or so ... And, of course, I love them!

Therefore, it made perfect sense to start another pair!

I enjoy the fact that this sort of project is very portable!
