Quilt in a day....well kind of!!

Miss Whit, my 13 year old granddaughter, wanted me to help her with a t-shirt quilt. She asked me about  this project, for Memorial Day Weekend, just after  the first of the year. Setting aside nearly 40 t-shirts she came prepared for the task.

I made plastic templates of various sizes , set up the cutting area and let her loose with the scissors.  With only a few snags she got all of her squares cut and sorted the way she liked them. We started the process of putting them together.

Now this part is for all of my quilter friends:

How many of us have said this? How many of them? How often?

I thought cutting them out was the hard part.

I thought I had WAY too many shirts.

My back is killing me.

The sewing machine hates me.

I should have been more careful cutting.

I hope the marks wash out.

HOW many more rows are there????

I dropped a pin. (On the carpet in MY bed room.)

I guess I'll find THAT in my bare feet.

I don't think I have enough patches.

Oh, there they are!!!! Under the ones I've all ready finished.

That's IT!!!!! I quit!!!! Hand me two more. I can do 2 more!!

I can't see anymore.

I jammed up the machine. I quit!!!

"Good night Grandma I love you. We'll start fresh in the morning."
