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.

Your t-shirt quilt turned out great. I've been planning to make one for years, but I've never gotten to it.
I love all your projects. Your T-shirt quilt is looking so good and I love the English Rose Sampler.
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.
