My Summer Project

I mentioned last week that my mom is cleaning out her garage in preparation for an upcoming move.  This means that it is finally time for me to come and get my things that I have kept there.  Yearbooks, childhood mementos, clothes, and so much more! My mom brought a ton of boxes to my house this past weekend and I started to go through them.  One of the things I found in there were all of my cheerleading t-shirts from high school.  I have tons of them! I remember around graduation my now MIL telling me I should get a family friend to make them into a t-shirt quilt.  I wasn't quite ready to stop wearing them yet at that point, so I declined.  As I got older though, I set them aside planning to have someone do this one day.  As many of you know, one of my main hobbies is sewing (particularly crafts and clothing).  I am not a quilter, but I decided to try my hand at this because I thought it would be a fun trip down memory lane and a great memento to have of this time in my life.  I have a lot to learn about quilting, but I am really looking forward to making a great quilt!

I am using this company's awesome quilts as my inspiration.  I hope that my quilt comes out half as great as one of theirs!  If any of you have experience with quilting, or have some links that might give me information, please leave them in the comments!  I am really nervous about the actual quilting part of the project! I will keep y'all informed as I progress through this project!
