Seattle Streets Quilt with T-Shirts

Since I have been doing NO quilting since my dearest husband tidied up my sewing room* before Christmas, thought I'd share this with you instead.

I got a great email yesterday with the above photo from Robin C, who lives down South:

I came across your "Seattle Streets" pattern online and decided to try it out for a friend's t-shirt quilt (from all of his Southern University Marching Band shirts). I didn't strictly use your strip piecing directions as I had lots of odd-shaped rectangles that didn't lend themselves to strip piecing, but as you can see the effect is still the same. I used leftover fabrics for a simple pieced border. Feel free to use my photo if you like, just give me credit :-)

I LOVE it! It would never have occurred to me to do this with T-shirts, but now that my daughter has seen it, she wants one for herself.

Thanks for sharing it with me, Robin!

* And I do mean dearest. My sewing room was to the point where it was a such a disaster that I couldn't do anything with it -- fabric everywhere. He went in and put everything in boxes so we could use the room as an actual spare bedroom, and it's fantastic. (Plus I still have two living poinsettias on the window sill, still blooming and brightening my day.) But I haven't been able to make myself mess it up by digging through it for all my stuff. Eventually, though, I will get back on that hoss!
