Adrian's T-Shirt Quilt finished!!   I love the Reds and Tie-dyed shirts. .  I love having at least one tie-dye in a Tquilt . . it really brightens up the whole thing.
Here's a closeup. .  Hearts in the burgundy areas, I quilted some little pebbles in a few of the narrow strips, outlines in some of the black areas and ecchos in the white areas.


I did extra small stippling in this white area. . . curvy lines in between each row of text.  Pebbles in that one "Poca" logo.   Paisleys in the grey areas. . . hearts in the burgundy areas.   For this quilt's Year/Date I used burgundy T-shirt material and I LOVE HOw it turned out.   The last couple quilts I used regular quilting fabric. . but the t-shirt material gives that fun raw-edge look to it. 


I almost forgot to quilt this little white strip!  So I pulled the quilt down and decided to do a small bit of Mc Tavishing. . . oh does it show up nicely on the t-shirt material!!


Here's the back - we used Red this time because the majority of her shirts were red (Poca High School)  I was having some tension issues with this backing material.  I'm not sure why.  The first thing I did was applique the year "2012" on there and it was really giving me problems.  I decided to do the whole thing with matching threads from the front.   I used same color thread in the bobbin and in the top. So the back is a quilt in itself. . showing off the quilting stitches even more!
