You can see I tied the batting/backing rather than sewing them together (the third photo on the right where my finger is pointing at the string). The whole quilt is machine sown. In fact I never did the binding (neon green color on edge... hard to see on the photo)... my mentor did that. So the 2nd quilt I did the binding by myself... not perfect but I gotta start somewhere! hah! This quilt is meant to fit a twin size bed as I used it for my first couple years in college then donated the quilt to my father during my wedding rehearsal dinner as he had drooled and begged for that quilt the couple years I had it. Size: just over 77 inches by 64 inches.
The second quilt I made all by myself! I had a couple quick affirmation/ questions here and there that I would get answered via telephone with my mother-in-law. These were scraps/ leftover t-shirts from Jae's shirts. I originally started working on a different t-shirt quilt for Jae but saw that I had a huge pile of t-shirt leftovers. And here's what I did with them:
Mixed pattern on both sides. I hand sewed the batting/backing and half of the binding... the closing of the binding. I machine sewed the t-shirts together and the first half of the binding. I did iron the interfacing on each of the t-shirts as well to keep the t-shirts from stretching. Finishing this quilt took me exactly a week to complete. This is more of a lap quilt, for a short person, or a tall person curled in a ball... it isn't nearly as big as my first quilt: just over 68 inches by 48 inches.
