I am not an experienced hand quilter like my mom and sisters,
but I have made a couple of quilts lately.
I made this baby doll quilt for my granddaughter for Christmas.
The Cathedral Window pattern in the center and the binding is hand sewn,
but the rest of the quilt is machine sewn.

In mid-January I attended a t-shirt quilt class at the local quilt shop.
I had been intrigued by a method of sewing with t-shirts
while not using any stabilizer.
I had also been saving t-shirts for years just waiting
for the right project to come along.
This was the time!
The class was very helpful and
I got to use their templates.
Here is what I ended up with when I left class -
thirty t-shirt blocks!!

Finished quilt (except for signature block!!) approximately 53" x 63"
The t-shirt blocks were so easy to sew together.
It did not take long at all.
I wish I had timed myself!
I took it back to the quilt shop to have them
do the long arm quilting because they were having a sale.
Quilting for one penny per square inch!!
I thought that was a steal of a deal.
Now I am thinking about my next project.
What should it be??
