Hannah's T-Shirt Quilt is Finally Finished!!

So, here it is!!!  This is the final product of my niece's old t-shirts and a little bit of batik fabric!  I am very please with the results. The colors within the quilt are very bright and girly, which fits my niece's personality very well.  She has such a bubbly, bright, and colorful disposition.

The only thing I did not like about this quilt is how heavy it turned out to be.  Knit fabrics (t-shirt material) is very heavy when sewn together like quilt.  It is definitely not a quilt for the summer months.  In Arkansas, it might not even be light enough for fall or spring.  It would however make an awesome football weather quilt!  The think I love about it most is that it captures memories for her to have in her home forever.  She can look at this quilt in the years to come and have a story for every square.  Isn't that amazing?!  Her children will be able to see a part of her life that they would never have been able to experience themselves!  I just hope she loves it as much as I do!

I'm Finally Finished!!

I finally finished my niece's quilt today!!  Woohoo!  It is in the washing machine at the moment, or I would take a picture of it and post it here.  I will definitely post one tomorrow!  Now, I will begin working on a new quilt for my own bed.  It will be easy because I am going to use a pre-printed fabric pattern!
