FNSI, T-Shirt Quilt Progress and A Blessing Sampler Finish

Last Friday was 2025’s first Friday Night Sew In. I joined Wendy at Sugarlane Designs and friends for an evening of quilting.

I trimmed the blocks for hubby’s t-shirt quilt. Then planned to cut the sashing to attach on Saturday. However, I got started and before I knew it, the center was complete.

I am going to attach a smaller, maybe 3” inner border but can’t decide what color to use. I think the outer border will be 5 inches and I’ll use the same black tonal fabric that I used for the sashing.

I have some time to decide because my friend is helping me with a special smaller block that will go in the outer border. She lives in Florida, and I still need to send her the shirt.


The remainder of the weekend was spent stitching my blessing sampler. I first posted about this here.


I finished yesterday and can hardly wait to get it framed.


Chart: English Rose Sampler by The Proper Stitcher

Fabric: 36 count linen by Atomic Ranch in the color Mellow Stone

Next on the list is SAHRR. The first prompt was released on Monday over at Kathleen McMusing. I’ll be back on Friday will my interpretation.


Enjoy your week, and I’ll see you soon.

Your t-shirt quilt turned out great. I've been planning to make one for years, but I've never gotten to it.

Your t-shirt quilt top is looking good! Maybe a narrow red inner border? The blessing sampler is so pretty - I love the different flowers in it. I've been working on my SAHRR, too!

Thank you so much, GM!

I love your English Rose Sampler. So pretty! I made 2 t-shirt quilts. It's quite a process but it's such a great way to remember past events.

Just beautiful stitching; love that Roses sampler...
I've never made a tee shirt quilt--they look very challenging to me...
This one is really neat looking--you might try a narrow blue inner border to pick up that pretty blue shirt at the top...
Have fun finishing...hugs, Julierose

The sampler is lovely.

Maybe a red inner border...or the light blue as Julierose suggested...even a mid grey would be good.

The Tshirt quilt is looking good, you have me curious about the block that is going into the border.
