Graduation & just for fun

 After the flurry of so many T-shirt quilts when Pier 1 closed during the Covid lockdown of spring 2020, I found I was seriously TIRED of making T-shirt quilts.  But one last co-worker asked for a graduation quilt for her daughter and I couldn't say no.  This is the second quilt made for all theater shirts.  It was fun seeing all the plays and musicals she had performed.  



This quilt was for the husband of my friend how has cut my hair for the last 18 years.  He is retired from the marines and does several volunteer projects for the family outreach.  We had to sneak out t-shirts in order to surprise him.  The funniest part was when I gave him the quilt the 1st thing he noticed was I had attached one of the patches upside down!  Duh.  Fortunately it was easy to redo it as I hadn't quilted through the patches.  I was gratified that the first thing he did was to post a picture on his facebook page.
