Genz quilt

I don't have a finished photo of this one, but this is pretty close to finished. It was made for a sewing client from her daughter's high school and college t-shirts as a graduation gift. The biggest challenge here was finding a good size to use. As you can see, we ended up using a standard square size and then making it out of a single shirt, horizontal or vertical half shirts, or even quarters of the square as necessary to get everything to fit and to highlight the best parts of each shirt. The one piece that wouldn't fit within our unit we sized to the unit plus sashing and made it the center point.

Machine pieced, hand tied, polyester batting (eventually!)
