I was commissioned to make a T-shirt Quilt that include only Notre Dame vs Michigan Game T-shirts. I have to admit, this Marquette University alum girl twinged just a tad, but I powered through! She requested a queen and with only about enough t-shirt logos to make 14 blocks, I knew I had to put my thinking cap on.

I remembered that a friend had asked me to work up an estimate for a simple Notre Dame logo and I worked the math to fit it in the center for this one.
I surrounded it by the t-shirt blocks and then added a gold border to frame it all.

The fabric choices are very mottled solids gave the quilt some depth.
And, as always, I back my t-shirt quilts with minky, this one was Shannon Fabrics Navy. Quilted it on Ole Besty Longarm with a large meandering and bound it with the gold fabric by Moda to mimic a second "frame".
It was a big hit for Christmas!
