Danielle is only 15 years old. She started quilting last year. She is amazing and when it comes to learning new things, she is fearless. She decided to make a T-Shirt quilt for one of her high school friends. She carefully stabilized the t-shirts and pieced some fun fabrics. It was 64 x 88 with the borders. She asked the local quilt shop owner to con somebody into quilting it for her. I was the lucky volunteer.
I SID around the t-shirts to avoid the stabilizer. I was afraid it would gum up my machine. I echo quilted the logos on the t-shirts. It was tough going. My stitch regulator kept choking and burring needles. I stayed with it despite 4 burred needles and jams. And I learned something from the 15 year old quilter. T-shirts are meant to be worn not quilted.
