I had a customer contact me last year about making a quilt using the logos from golf shirts. These were shirts I hadn’t worked with exclusively before. I have cut a polo shirt and added it to a T Shirt blanket. Or, I have cut out four logos and created one block by sewing them together.

My customer and I discussed various options. But when she sent me the huge pile of shirts, I found the fabrics to be so nice and colorful, that I thought I should create a design which took full advantage of all of them. My simple idea was to center each block on a larger square of fabric in a contrasting color and design.

I created a blanket that was 5′ x 7′.I used 35 shirts and backed it with a charcoal grey sweatshirt fleece.  My customer was happy to clear out some space in her closet. She admitted it was a present to herself!  But her husband loved it, too! Especially since some of the shirts belonged to his father.
