Where is my head?
Sunday it finally struck me - October is almost here!  Where did September go?  It is now less than 3 months until Christmas - YIKES!  I finally got my head out of the sand and started to look at what I need to accomplish in the next few months.  Number one is the t-shirt quilt for a guy at work.  He wants to give it to his son for Xmas.  I spent all day Sunday cutting up the shirts and pressing on the interfacing.  A big hurdle was to figure out what I was going to do with this pair of camo bibs. They don't go with the t-shirts color wise.
I spent about an hour taking them apart and running over different possibilities in my head.  I finally decided to cut strips out of the bibs and use them as a sashing.  I don't have much t-shirt fabric left to make a border, so adding lengthwise strips will give me close to the width I need.  I am making a twin sized quilt.  I think the lengthwise sashing will spread the camo out and create a design feature.  I don't know!  I am making this up as I go along!  LOL!!  So here is what I have so far.
Here is a close up of the camo fabric.  It is kind of ugly.  I did save the patch pockets and I may add those someplace.

I think the cami works!
Oh, I agree, the camo is ugly fabric, lol but I like your sashing plan for it.
I think it is working OK too. I think adding the patch pockets is a good idea too.
I'm with you, I have no idea how September passed so quickly! I like where you are heading with this quilt.....I love anything red.
The picture of the design wall, I like the camo strips. I think it is an excellent idea for the use of the camo print. Great job!
