So I finished my sisters tee-shirt quilt, but I hadn't gotten a picture of the backside, so I didn't want to post pictures of it, but it's been too long! I just need to get up what I can, and then take another picture next time I am in Iowa (or just start taking pictures before I ship things off!)
I didn't realize how fuzzy this picture was! I REALLY need to get a better picture now! What I did, was cut up the blocks, then put interfacing on the back. Then I added the sashing and corner stones. I decided on the front to use purple sashing with yellow corner stones and on the back yellow sashing with purple corner stones. (her school colors were purple & gold) as I was getting to the end of the back side I didn't have enough shirts. Well I found a few that would work, but as i was cleaning up something in my sewing room, guess what I found?! some more tee-shirts! I guess I will be making her some pillows ;)
I would definitely do some things differently next time. This time I made some blocks smaller, and some a little bigger, thinking the rows would end up being ok. But I had put this away for a few months, so I forgot which ones I had done that too! So the back ended up being a little wonky. And even here you can see that top row is slightly shorter than the row below it. I ended up just adding a little bit of fabric to it.
I of course needed help pinning the two layers together ;) I hope their puppy Bo didn't mind the cat hair :)
