Josh's T-Shirt Quilt

8/17/2011

0 Comments

 
When Josh and I were getting ready to move in together, I, ahem, gently suggested that he trim down his collection of old t-shirts. The idea was met with a look that said, “you’re making me pack up this entire apartment, and you have the nerve to suggest that I throw out some of the clothes I don’t wear too!?!”. We compromised by dividing the t-shirts into three piles - keep, donate, and quilt.

One look at his hallway filled with bags of clothes to be donated, and you can only imagine how many he had to be quilted and kept! 

Having been promising my father a quilt of his shirts for year, Josh had no expectation of receiving a t-shirt quilt any time soon. You can imagine his surprise when he got an almost-finished quilt of his shirts for his birthday in mid-July! 

[As a side note, it was kinda satisfying to be able to surprise him with something he wanted - to be working on it while he truly had no idea.]

The quilt is nearly finished. I had just been waiting for the binding to come in from Beverly’s Fabric Store. Now that it has arrived, I’ll aim to finish the entire thing by the end of the week. 
Here’s a picture of the quilt, as I gave it to him for his birthday.
