My neice, Gretchen, graduated from Eagan High School! I made her a t-shirt quilt and it was displayed at her graduation party over the weekend.
This t-shirt quilt was a total surprise for Gretchen--my sister, Bonnie, went through Gretchen's drawers and thinned out her shirts when Gretchen was at school. Gretchen didn't seem to notice she was missing any shirts, until the big reveal day!
I did the piecing using the "Step-Down" method, invented by Sarah Fielke. She teaches a Craftsy class on the technique, called "Big Techniques From Small Scraps."
It was a super fun celebration. Congrats, Gretchen!!!
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

Gretchen said her favorite square is the Chick-fil-a square! The "M" is from one of her dance costumes, when her dance group danced to "Hey Mickey".
The quilting is "Loopy Over You".
Gretchen made the "LOVE" t-shirt in Sunday school class.
Backing is an Angela Walters extra-wide backing from Quilt Cove.

That quilt should be a great memory for Gretchen!
ReplyDeleteIt is always fun to surprise someone with a quilt. This t shirt quilt is lovely. Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteI think this is the nicest T shirt quilt I have seen. I think it may be the step down technique....I'm not sure what that is but I think I can see it in the quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great technique and a great quilt. This is one of my ufo's for my son, which I think will be two sided. I am definitely checking this out!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun T shirt quilt-lucky niece!
