Don't Throw Out Those T-Shirts!

Do you have bins full of t-shirts from days gone by? Do your children have t-shirts from their school days that you just cannot throw away? Well, make a lasting memory quilt with those shirts and surprise them with a gift they would never expect!

I made the following quilt for a friend of mine to give to her daughter. The daughter had gone to Law School. The shirts reflect various clubs she was in during her college years as well as trips she went on. When the quilt was picked up, the mother was very well pleased with the finished product! Her daughter was delighted as well!

Another great quilt. I have seen these a couple of times on TV lately. But I like your comments about shirts for special clubs. I must remember this as my daughter gets older as we have a couple of school shirts and guide shirts that will be good.
