Cleaning Out the Attic Crafts

About a year ago I mentioned to my husband that I’d like to make a quilt from his old tees after we saw one at a friend’s house.  Justin had several large bags full of unnecessary tees dating from high school!  So for our anniversary I surprised him with this quilt.  It was only a little bit painful for him to see his tees disassembled and I think he liked the fact that he can see them all the time.  This might not make a pretty quilt, but it allowed me to recycle 24 t-shirts and it’s really warm and soft.  I backed it with a sheet and used an old throw blanket for the batting.  I did not quilt it because I think I would have made the knit fabric pucker all over the place.  I also made a couple of sweater pillows while I was at it.
