All quilted!

I was suprised late Saturday night that the thread I needed to quilt two of the neckerchiefs was delivered. I hadn't checked the mailbox. Today I was able to finish up all the quilting on this t-shirt quilt. Now I just have to wait until the binding fabric arrives so I can get this quilt done and get it delivered!

To answer Kaja's question of my approach to quilt this, I decided I needed to quilt the neckerchiefs first, then I could move to the t-shirts that adjoined the neckerchiefs. I started with the light blue one because I knew I needed to nail down the design first then work my way to the diagonal. The neckerchiefs are much lighter weight fabric than the t-shirts and I was dealing with bias. I could always move any excess from the neckerchiefs to the t-shirts, but I would end up possibly with tucks in the neckerchiefs if I quilted the t-shirts first then moved any excess to the neckerchiefs. It worked well to quilt the navy and light blue ones first, then the quilt the t-shirts adjoining them, quilt the plaid and cheddar ones next, then the adjoining t-shirts, etc. Another thing I always do is to quilt around lettering or motif first then meander the background. This way I know the motif will stay nice and flat because otherwise the t-shirt fabric could move and then the motif or lettering could get puffed up and hard to quilt without making a tuck. You learn these things after making 30 some t-shirt quilts.
