Hi all!
Brrrr it's cold outside here!! I mean really cold and that is not my favourite weather at all! It's very good quilting weather, however, so that is what I have been doing! I love to make t-shirt quilts. They are so unique and personal and fun to make!
While I was collecting t-shirts for my Guilty Pleasures quilt I was seeing a lot of Minions shirts out there; so, I started to grab a few with the intention of putting together a throw for a friend of mine who loves Minions and who has had a challenging past couple of years.
So I grabbed the ones I came across and finally got to stabilizing them. And guess what - not enough!!!
I asked some of my fitness participants if they had any that they didn't want anymore and one of the ladies had two!!! It was just enough to finish the quilt off with a few sashing strips of t-shirt fabric!! I was able to get it quilted and bound and I gave it to her today for her birthday!!! Yay!!
What do you think? I think that it turned out great and she was so surprised and happy with it :-D That made me so happy and it made my day!
After I made progress with this quilt, I was on a roll, and pulled out the Lego Mini-Figure t-shirts that I have been collecting as well. I cut into them, stabilized them and then squared them up into blocks. Why lego mini-figures? Well, my boys were (still are) really into them so I thought that it would make a nice quilt for another lego fanatic once it was done being a store sample for the t-shirt quilt class I teach.
Oh well! At least I got this far with it!! Now to hunt for a couple more mini-figure t-shirts!!!

Your Minion T-shirt quilt turned out great! Love the colour of the binding you used. Really pulls it together.
