Sweat Shirt Quilt

 A long time friend of my husband, also a friend of mine, presented me with 3 bags of sporting event souvenir t-shirt and sweat shirts.
How big were the bags..."the see thru blue" recycle garbage size, big.
A clear slate for creativity, only size and number of quilts was specified. Also no "hurry".

This happened in February, lots of dark and stormy nights or mornings to wash and prep shirts. The shirts were clean, and scented with after wash products.  To clarify adhesives work better, as do I without these products.

Sweatshirt quilt first. I have talked about memory quilts. I made one from my Dad's dress shirts. Perhaps JS admired the product, still I was a little startled.
    To get the required size lots of blank space to quilt.

    I enjoyed researching the various sporting events, and found sporting quotes to fill the open space, fun times choosing for these empty spots.
