Dear daughter number 2 is home for a short break from college. She used my sewing machine to make her t shirt quilt. K used polar fleece in a black paw print on red for her backing fabric. Our school mascot is a black panther and the school colors are red, black and white. K was a cheerleader in both middle and high school and was in choir for all that time, too, so that's what most of her shirts are from. I love these quilts - they're like scrapbooks that keep you warm. ;-) Both girls decided several years ago that they wanted to save their "special" t shirts to make a blanket. It's funny that it took them so long to actually do it - I guess M getting a sewing machine for Christmas spurred them on. The quilts made perfect 1st sewing projects.

Beautiful memory quilt! Your daughter did a wonderful job!
There is an award for you De over at my blog, It's for creativity and use of materials. I think it was made for YOU!
I have been keeping all of my 3 sons school and sport team shirts so that I can one day make them a quilt each.I really love this idea. It is nice to have daughters since they appreciate this type of sentiment. Your daughter did a wonderful job.
Hugs,
