t-shirt quilt progress and hauling mulch
First, the t-shirt quilt progress. I didn't have much time to sew after I went inside. I spent way longer working in the yard than I had planned; I will get to that in a minute. Meanwhile, I did get the t-shirts (outlined on the left of this picture) sewn together. I had to add pieces to the gray Key West piece to make it wide enough. I also pressed interfacing onto a couple t-shirt backs for inserting where I need more width or length. Here I am auditioning the insert pieces to the white and the odd colored red shirt.
The step-mother brought me two plastic grocery bags of t-shirts this morning which I will use for adding bits for width and lengths. She brought me some good stuff! It is forecasted to rain this afternoon so maybe I can make some real progress on this quilt tonight. As soon as I got home from work I was outside working. I wanted to get the rest of the sweet peat mulch up to where I have that fence. I was planning on working an hour, but it turned into two. LOL!! It took about a half hour to finish weeding and then the rest of the time I hauled and spread 11 wheelbarrows of sweet peat mulch. Here is what it looks like now
Next will be cleaning up the far end of this bed. I could use a few more rocks. This is where I planted some chunks of that ornamental grass. The chunks kind of blend in with the weeds! LOL!!

Your gardens are going to be so beautiful this year!
You brought home so many rocks last summer. Maybe you will have another job site where you can get some more.
Your T shirt quilt is making progress with the layout! I had to change my my row layouts so many times I thought I'd go nuts! But I'm now adding the borders and hope to finish the last two rows this weekend...then add the sashing...and...well, you know...all that other stuff! HA HA
