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!
