The Tee Shirt Quilt

Readers of this blog may have noticed that I am a Mustang guy. Over the last 15, or so, years, I have saved the art work, from many Mustang tee shirts, as they start to get old and worn out. I cut out the front, and or the rear panel, of the shirts before I get rid of them. Over the years I have saved several of these, not really sure at the time what I might eventually use them for.
I couple years ago, we got the idea to make a quilt out of the tee shirt art. Any ideas I had of how this might be laid out, I would run by my wife, as she has been quite accomplished at quilting for many years. A plan was devised, background colors selected, and an appropriate fleece blanket for the back was located.
The whole project then sat, waiting its turn, for at least a year before she was ready to tackle it. As we started to get it all laid out, and the various tee shirt pieces trimmed to size, it became obvious to her that this was going to be a difficult project to complete.
 I was pushing her along, and trying my best to help, with hopes it might be finished before the July 4th car show, the only one I planned to enter this season.
With a lot of work, and plenty of frustration, she did get it finished, two days before the car show. I displayed it at the car show, laying over the roof, back window, and trunk lid of my Mustang. It looked great and got a lot of attention.
