Time flies!

well hello!
As usual life has got in the way of making quilts. Had a very busy and stressful few months at work which has left little sewing time but did manage  some  knitting and now I have a pile of UFO's.
Looking back I see I haven't uploaded pics of my shirt quilts. I collected lots of cotton shirts from charity shops and made quilts with them - I didn't realise how many different colours I had! The best haul was a pile of XXXL shirts- enough fabric in there to make a dress!The shirts were all worn and washed and the fabric was beautifully soft and easy to sew. Anyway , here goes:
 Small lap quilt machined quilted.
 Detail of stipple quilting.
This one was made with just a palette of blue and white - so fresh! I added old shirt buttons in the corner squares and quilted the names of shirtmakers in the borders. Handquilted.
Till next time! Gx
