t-shirt quilt and bag.....

I am finished sewing this t-shirt quilt together! It will go to the quilters tomorrow. The final is a little different. I was able to get the spring track and field shirt to put in it. I was a little worried I wouldn't get it in time and sewed the columns up. It was easy enough to remove a shirt back that wasn't important and replace it.

So then I started thinking about all the rejected backs.

I cut them up. I am thinking about a tote bag.

...and sewed them in rows.

Then added plain red t-shirt to the sides.

There was still enough strips left to cut up and use for the handles.

And here is the finished bag......

I was going to box the corners, but decided to leave it as is.

Nothing fancy, just a tote for hauling stuff to track meets.

It is about 18x19 inches.
