What was your inspiration?

My husband's cousin wanted a t-shirt quilt for her graduation gift from high school. I asked her what colors she wanted and she picked pink, brown, and teal. I wasnt sure if those colors would look cute but I thought it was her gift so I would give it a try and it turned out great!

What are you most proud of?

Not giving up on sewing SOOOO many strips!!

The color combination is a pleasant surprise. I would not have thought of it. Nice job. I also make tshirt quilts and use a long arm. Do you have trouble with the thread breaking a lot? I can't figure out why mine breaks so very often. I change needles, use King tut and bottom line thread in bobbin so I Know it isn't that. any ideas?

I quilted it on a long arm with a large pattern so the machine wouldnt get caught up on the T-shirt designs.
