t-shirt progress and a giveaway

Remember my t-shirt project?? 

I decided to add sashing in rows….so working on one row at a time

I left the sashing off the outside edges until each row was complete.

All the designs are sewn into rows complete with sashing…what do you think??

I measured each row….I used my longest row, which was a tie between the first and the last, as a guide.  I added sashing as needed to each end, sewed them together and added a border around the edge…love, love it!!

Here are my back and binding fabrics….as you can tell, I misjudged the amount of the bracelets I needed – ugh!!  Well, in the spirit of making do….I pieced the back…thoughts??

The giveaway this week…anything here jump out??  Happy Sewing!

    I really love the sashing…is it difficult to sew the cotton to the knit? I’m planning to make tshirt quilts for my kids…so was just curious!

    I think a pieced back can be fun…and I’m sure you’ll make it look beautiful.

    I always like a pieced back as it jazzes things up a little. Thanks for another fun giveaway.

    I always piece my backs, I think it kind of makes a “reversible quilt.” Thanks for the added personal help on FB, you’re the best.

    I see Alison Glass too! I have always wanted to try a t shirt quilt, but I have heard they can be a little difficult to work with.
