My GF has been working on this quilt and I think it is way cool. She took a bunch of old T-shirts from rides/races/and some other outdoor stuff and is making them into a quilt for me. She Rocks!!!!!

Did you add the "don't just train..." text on the Charmichael shirt? I've never seen a quilt sit so flat or so level.

No, got it that way.

This is the front of the quilt and she is still working on the filler and back so it will look a bit different when finished.

My GF uses my old T-shirts as rags around the house. I even caught her washing her car with one. I wish my GF was as crafty as yours. Your GF ROCKS indeed. Very nice & thanks for sharing.

Super Cool idea. She does rock. Care to post pics :D

It is hanging from the stair case rails. Gravity only works in one direction.
