We celebrated our son's birthday on Wednesday. He was going to be out of town on his birthday so we all got together to celebrate him a little early. I've had these t-shirts saved for a long time. There are t-shirts from when he was a little boy (his first soccer team) to when he played basketball in college. Little did I know what a task this would be. I cut new neuro pathways on this one. LOL It's not like you have a square and all the squares are cut the same size and then you put them together. I'll make a long story very short, I started this the first of September thinking by the end of September I could have it done. By the end of September, I was ready to pull my hair out. I have a wonderful friend who is a wonderful quilter. I called her and she graciously has been helping me. As you can see, I'm still not finished but I hope to have it quilted and totally complete by the end of January.
My son was totally surprised and he really loved it. He couldn't believe that I had saved all those t-shirts. And I was even able to put some pictures of him playing basketball and soccer on some of the t-shirts, with the help of my daughter. You have to use the computer to do that. Anyway, a great birthday for a wonderful son who has always been a blessing to our family.
