Finally Finished....

It's now officially 4 days into 2016. I love the fresh start of the new year!! It means that I've survived another crazy Christmas season. The decorations are put away, the tree is down and the mess is cleaned up. HURRAY!!
 
It's also nice to have this project behind me....
 

I was able to finish the Softball tee shirt quilt in time for Christmas. The woman who commissioned me to make this quilt wanted to give it to her husband as a gift, so I needed to get it finished. I stitched late into the night for a couple of weeks and was able to finish by Thanksgiving. This was a good thing, because I had a lot more Christmas sewing to do!!!

Detail~

I wasn't sure how this quilt would turn out in the end. It kept revealing itself to me as we went along. I focused on the tee shirt scraps that I wanted to include. Then, I built up the smaller tee shirt pieces with other scraps of fabric so that I could line everything up to make the rectangular shape of the quilt.

In the end, I'm very happy with how this quilt turned out...and the client was thrilled with it! :)
