So, I was racking my brain trying to think of what to write about. I am currently in the process of making a quilt, but I didn't want to post about it until the finished product was complete. I am about halfway done with it and I decided that it might be nice to show you what it looks like now and then show some pictures when I'm finished.
I've made plenty of fleece tie quilts, but this one is a lot more complicated. I decided to make it out of the production shirts from all the shows I did at Hale Center Theater (13 total). Unfortunately, I couldn't find 2 of the shirts, but most of them were in great condition since I hardly wore them.
The color combinations are a little wierd, but I think it's more about the sentimental value. I still need to decide on what color to use for the border and the back. Any suggestions?

13 lovely notes:
I'm not great at choosing colors, but I'd keep it dark whatever you choose. Perhaps that Navy or the royal blue? I think it looks great! Good job.
I think green.
Cool quilt. I agree with Amy. I think Navy blue would look good. Looks like your loving you sewing machine. How are you going to quilt it? Yarn tie, machine, hand?
COOL! You are so talented, Cara! I had no idea you were an actor as well. I love the Hale theater!
What a treasure and a keepsake! Great way to do something practical with all the t-shirts that sit in drawers and never get worn. Nice savor of something you love. (the aunt)

I love your quilt!! Great creativity! I'd say go for one of the bright colors (maybe the purple) and get a solid of that color for the binding. Good luck!
