I DID IT FINALLY!

 I put my 'big girl panties' today and ignored all my excuses for not working on the quilt that's been on Mo'e for the past week.  It was so silly... I put a cd on my player and had the quilting and most of the trimming done before the cd was over.

This was one of my 'excuses' for not working on the quilt.  I've made t-shirt quilts before but I went around whatever the design was that was printed on the shirt(s).  There was no way that I could do that with this one - not and have it secure enough.

I don't know what I was so worried about... my needle went in and back out like it was normal cotton fabric - like 'a hot knife through butter'.

Here is the only problem I encountered... thread broke while I was trying to stitch and end at the corner.  (It's right over the i in Twins if you can't see it).

 

And, here it is completely done... this is our front porch/deck which was just enough room to lay it out for it's photo op.

And here's the label I printed out....

I'm in the process of cutting 5 1/2" cotton squares for two more t-shirt quilts (different pattern) - I need 81 for each - sigh.  Most probably I'll work on another t-shirt quilt top and cut more squares in between steps.  I think the next one I'll do will be with a BQ pattern.

Guess that's it for now...tomorrow, I have to pre-register for the new specialist I'm going to see on Tuesday afternoon.  I also have to find a pair of shorts to wear during the ultra sound and whatever other tests they want to do.  Wouldn't you know I threw out three pair of cutoff shorts just a week or so ago... isn't that the way it goes?!!?  I THINK I might have some in a donation box that hasn't been donated yet.  That's where I'll check first - if none there, I'll have to clear quilts out of the closet so that I can get to the summer clothes bin and hope there will still be a pair in there.

anywayyyyyyy....

take care....
