I finished the memory quilt and the lady who commissioned it was pleased. I used about 10-12 shirts, some cotton and some cotton blends, and one t-shirt. My basic square was cut 5 1/2" and then I pieced some blocks to equal this. The t-shirt blocks were added to to equal 10 1/2". I used navy blue for the backing and the binding. The quilt finished about 60"x80". I was pleased with how it came out.

This past weekend I started another quilt. Surprised? I am using a jelly roll I got last year in Hawaii. I have added white and the plain colors of yellow, orange, pink and aqua.I made about 240 4-patches. My original idea was to make this as big as I could without buying more fabric. That would make the quilt 52"x72". After completing 4 rows and thinking about how much work I've already put into this, I've decided to make it queen size. I bought some more of my solid colors and have contacted the quilt shop in Maui that I got the jelly roll from. I will buy about 2 yds for a 4" border. I'm thinking of using orange, yellow or green for the border. I also inquired if they make charm packs (they make their own jelly rolls). I thought I might scatter some 4" squares so I don't have a zillion 4-patches to make. So this is on hold until I know for sure what I'm doing.
