One of the reasons I like making and sewing is the joy of being able to gift something you have made.
This year for Christmas I gave my Dad a quilt that I made from up cycled shirts. I put out the call for old shirts amongst family and friends and received lots of lovely shirt fabrics.
This quilt was improv pieced. I had a love hate relationship with this - I loved randomly putting fabrics together but I did not enjoy the having to square things up to create the completed quilt top and it did languish in the to be finished pile for a long time. So instead of a birthday present it became a Christmas present (whoops!).
The Back
The quilting is just straight lines, 1 inch apart (give or take). Because the fabrics are up cycled they were very soft.
