Curl up in a T-shirt?

During a cleaning spree a few years ago, I was confronted with a stack of T-shirts from various memorable events from my past. Though I didn't need them as T-shirts, I was hesitant to lose the sentimental associations they represented. I ended up with this quilt of sorts. Rather than layer it with batting and back it with another fabric like a traditional quilt, each seam is a french seam, totally encasing the raw edges. I was very pleased with this choice as it made a very lightweight blanket, perfect for shielding me from over-achieving air conditioner vents on airplanes and buses. ;)

Some of my favorite emblems on the t-shirts were on the front, where I couldn't cut out a full square block and have the design in the center. So, echoed the quilt theme and pieced a few blocks from the front and sleeves of these shirts. To finish, I cut sashing from the leftover scraps and pieced them together to form a multi-colored border.

Now all that's left to do is to curl up in my old t-shirts and remember the good old days!
