Quilt Teaser

AHHHHH!  So many sorority t-shirts!  What's a girl to do with them all?!?  When I graduated and became an alumni of my sorority I gave away close to 20 pairs of letters!  I thought I was only keeping two pairs for myself. Then when I moved I found more in hiding places!  And I purposefully kept all my "party shirts" because a) those are my pajamas b) those are my "workout" shirts (yea, right) c) they are my everyday wear and d) I wanted to make a t-shirt quilt out of them one day.  Well, that quilt day has come.  It is time for me to grow up a little.  Since starting my practicum placement, I have found that these well-loved and cherished shirts have less and less of a place in my wardrobe.  The tipping point, when I realized it was time to make the leap and cut the shirts, was when a lady came into the fabric shop I work at and bought almost the entire bolt of fabric I had been eyeing, thinking "hey, that would be perfect in my ADPi quilt."  Massive panic set in as I rolled out yard after yard for this lady.  Luckily, she left just enough!  As soon as she left I cut the rest of the fabric for my self and set to work pulling the rest of the colors I needed.  Still on a panicky high from almost losing out on the perfect fabric, I went home and started sewing.  A record fourteen hours later the entire front of my quilt was pieced (sewn together)!  Now, nothing I do can be normal or just follow a simple pattern.  No.  So this quilt is of course not your typical, grided t-shirt quilt.  Have I piqued your interest yet?  Well, I wont show you what it looks like til it is totally finished and quilted (I am mean to ya'll, I know)!  But below is a photo of all my shirts scrunched together!
