Another Shirt Quilt and a Baby Quilt

 
 
 
This wall hanging is going to be a gift for my MIL's minister at her church. He spent many hours visiting with my FIL when he was sick and I wanted to thank him for all of the support he gave to all of us with a little quilt made from my FIL's shirt fabric.  I have had this idea in my head for a few months now but have not had any time to make it until now. The top and the back are both done and I will be doing the quilting this weekend at the Quilting Day that one of my guilds has planned. I think he will be surprised. I hope he has a space on the wall in his office to hang it.
 
 
This is a baby gift that I am quilting myself. It is fairly large to be doing this on my DSM but I am managing. I don't suppose that the baby will notice when the spacing between some of the quilting lines is a bit scrunchy in places...  I will show a picture of the completed quilt when it is done. So far, I have quilted about half of the quilt. The back of the quilt is orange with dots.
 
I think I have some turquoise fabric somewhere around here for the binding...
 
Here is my overdue stash report...

Happy Sewing!

  1. The wall hanging turned out so nice, Gail. What size square did you settle on? I like your wavy quilt lines, the little one will, too ~

  2. Hope you heal quickly. You are probably never going to hear the end of this. I think the quilt was worth it.
