Quilts

Softball Saga

[flagallery gid=6 name=”Gallery” skin=commercial_int]

My niece played softball throughout school. By the time she was a senior, she had accumulated quite a few team shirts. The largest logo determined the size of the squares with the smaller shirts needing filler fabric to make up the difference. I decided I wanted to quilt each square individually before combining into a quilt. This allowed be to outline quilt each logo and had the added affect of stabilizing the jersey fabric. I’m not sure I would have survived trying to stabilize and quilt using the traditional method. There were too many different fabric types and sizes. There were a couple of shirts she couldn’t bear to part with so we took a picture of those logos and used an iron-on process to incorporate them into the quilt. It was fun, interesting, and challenging to make.
