I am quilting it on my domestic machine right now.<BR/><BR/>Mine's a little different, though because it has sashing with a 4patch as the cornerstone.<BR/><BR/>It really turned out cute, I think. I have a picture of it on my blog and I'll post a better picture when I get it quilted and bound.Tamerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17381235847159519699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-51477137702591586742007-09-10T16:06:00.000-04:002007-09-10T16:06:00.000-04:00I've lurked for a while and LOVE your blog.

You are an inspiration.

Warm milk and honey usually works for me.<BR/><BR/>When my group made a baby quilt I took some of the fabric and made a "book" cover/quilt and stitched some regular paper pages inside. Everyone who made a block was able to write a message and we put in a photo of us with the quilt.YankeeQuilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324287185970922332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-33767149388757699622007-09-07T16:10:00.000-04:002007-09-07T16:10:00.000-04:00These quilts are great.

But then!...the last quilt with the 3 four patches and one plain square, that is even better! I need to keep that one in mind for a future project...so neat!<BR/><BR/>I think the idea of cutting the shirts by sections and having strips at the ready is a very good idea. The back of the shirts can stay big for setting triangles or backing squares, and then the rest can be bricks and strips to play with. I just wish I could get shirts at the sorts of prices you get. All the local thrift stores here aren't much of a bargain (those shirts would have been about $5 each here).Tracey in CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01172273610231927352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-85164506372329729602007-09-07T13:24:00.000-04:002007-09-07T13:24:00.000-04:00What wonderful inspiration photos Bonnie -- thanks...What wonderful inspiration photos Bonnie -- thanks for sharing!

Cutting them into strips sounds like a great idea. It would make both the cutting up and the using up a lot easier.

If it makes you feel better I was...'morning Bonnie. If it makes you feel better I was up some of that time with you! ha ha<BR/><BR/>I've been reading your blog for just a short while, but I wonder if you "take requests"? :-) If so, I'd like to see/read how you are cutting up the shirts you got. Are you ripping them out seam-by-seam or are you simply cutting them up on either side of the seams? I ask because I'm too lazy to do the former even though I know I'd have more fabric in the end with the latter method.<BR/><BR/>Thanks in advance and I hope your afternoon "wall" is more like Memory Foam (as in a quick nap) than brick.<BR/><BR/>MicheleBunny McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12913508603601958580noreply@blogger.com
