Memory Quilt

I'd like to share with you one of the projects I'm currently working on that is very dear to me. My gorgeous hubster was in the British Army for 22 years, and during that time he collected many t-shirts from different tours of duty which he kept. When I saw them I knew they had to be made into something and memorialised in some way, so I've made them into a quilt. It has turned out much larger than I anticipated and is still not quite complete. The top is almost finished and I'm now working on a pieced backing. It's not perfect by any means, some of the lines don't quite match up, but considering I'm new to the patchwork and quilting game, it's not that bad. So I hope you like it.

Once I'd figured out how to stabilise the t-shirt material it was all fairly straight-forward. I've just used whole and 4-patch blocks with black sashing. Will update once all finished!
