The Shirts that Keep on Giving

My sister asked if I would make a t-shirt quilt for her daughter.  Mel has a ton of t-shirts from her elementary years, and she thought it would be a nice birthday gift.  Even though I've made tons of quilts I've never actually made a t-shirt quilt before.  I messed up the beginning steps that cost me a lot of extra time and work.  I know better now to reinforce the t-shirts before they're cut out. 

It might have been a headache at the beginning, but the quilt top turned out pretty cute.  I like it with the borders around them.  I think I'm going to try and tie quilt this one.  Mel's birthday is rapidly approaching, so we'll see if I actually get it done in time.
