Tee Shirt Finish

I finished the tee shirt quilt Monday and put the binding on Tuesday. Gave it to my customer on Wednesday and now I need to get another one in the frame.
It sure looks better than I thought it would. I was debating on how to quilt it and my daughter suggested a chevron pattern. That worked out perfect as far as not detracting from the tee shirts.
This was my 1st tee shirt quilt and the 1st time I used the chevron pattern.
I'll know better on the next one.


 I couldn't make up my mind on the binding.
I didn't want to be too bold and take away from the top or to have it be too plain.
I ended up using the yellow and I think it was a good choice.

 After I put the binding on Tuesday morning I put this table topper together.
I had to cut the pattern down a little and I also re-designed it.

Tee Shirt Quilt

I have been working steadly for the past 2 week just to get to this point.
I need to make 1 more sashing strip and I can finish putting it together.
 I have used 10 yds of interfacing and embroidered 9 eagles.
 This was just time consuming trying to get as much done in the evenings after the kids went home.
Now I need to figure out how I want to quilt it. If anyone has any ideas just let me know.
 I also found this design and I couldn't resist it.
I wanted to put it on a blouse and send it for a birthday surprise but time just got away from me.
So I suppose I'll just send this practice piece and a round tu-it.
