B-what? B-woods!

Last summer, I began a quite extensive project.  Turning all of my high school t-shirts into a quilt!  I sewed the face of the quilt together, but I have to give a HUGE thank you to my sweet mother who quilted the front and back together and put on the binding!

This project was definitely a trip down memory lane...I was so involved in so many different activities, my quilt is big enough to fit on a full-sized bed!  It was so fun to reminisce about each shirt, and the history behind it.

Step 1:  Cut each t-shirt into a square or rectangle

Step 2:  Create a map to fit all of the pieces together.  Color-code to make sure that two pieces of the same color are not next to each other

Step 3:  Lay out the pieces according to the map, and sew together!

Step 4:  Add a layer of batting between the t-shirts and the backing, and pin together

Step 5:  Quilt along the seams, and add the binding.  The finished product:

This was such a fun and meaningful project to work on!  I am so excited to start my William & Mary blanket next! :)
