Quilting
This one-block shirt quilt is finished and in the mail. First it was SID length- and width-wise, then additional lines subdivided the lengths into 1-inch columns. That should keep seams from fraying while also allowing the batting to fluff up. It's going to New England and they wanted a warmer throw.
Oddly, there aren't many grey-blues in my stash so other than these old shirts, I didn't have anything for a back. Eventually I pulled this blue with canoes. It's not enough so I chose to frame it with a green value she likes. {That green is in one of the canoe colors, too.} Not perfect but it will work.
Same problem for the binding until I realized I could use more shirt fabric. That's what I did. It should last as long as the top itself.
