Here she is in all her glory!Okay, so it's really just the top of the quilt, but honestly...I can't believe I did even that much. It's awesome.
I'll have to enlist some help (Mom...?) for the batting and hand-sewing on the backing, but, for me, this was the major part. Cutting, arranging, picking out colors, sewing, seam-ripping when I messed up (three separate and major times), and ironing seams, once I got them right.
Below is my favorite part of the quilt -- dead center, all my favorite old t-shirts: Care Bear, MASH, I heart Ireland, my tiny pocket red shirt from 8th grade, Ciao Ciao from Italy, my Good Will China shirt that Evan picked out, Mr. Bubble, and, last but not least, Steve Buyer...best and last campaigning I ever did, handing out fliers for him during a parade in my hometown.
Yay for me!
