  2. What a fun way to use old t-shirt, especially those "souvenir"tshirts from around the world, that you get tired of wearing soon after they are bought.

  3. Great quilt...great memories. Wasn't it nice to have a snow day. I live in Cleveland, TN and they even closed the government offices! When they do that I know I'm not going out to drive!

  5. Love the quilt! T-shirts are such fun to make into quilts. I live in Nashville - think I need to make a music city quilt - hmmmm. Thanks for the inspiration.

  8. Great quilt. I was going to do one for DH and told him to just cut the fronts off his shirts so I could use them. He cut around the pictures: lots of little, rubbery pieces. I haven't yet decided what I am going to do with them. ;-)
