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!
ReplyDeleteOh, I agree, the camo is ugly fabric, lol but I like your sashing plan for it.
ReplyDeleteI think it is working OK too. I think adding the patch pockets is a good idea too.
ReplyDeleteI'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.
