Last year, after working my @$$ off

as a Biology undergraduate student,
as a present to myself, I designed and ordered
a T-shirt quilt:
a T-shirt quilt:
Every shirt has a story & I am obsessed with how amazing it turned out.
My quilt starts with my senior shirt from high school, my first job shirt, and my dorm shirt from moving into college.
It includes shirts from life guarding, Alpha Xi Delta & greek life, Rider University, & my travels all over the world.
It ends with my senior shirt from Rider University which says,
"It has been a wild ride, I wouldn't change a minute".
btw- that green shirt is from my skydiving adventure that was given to me by my uncle for my college graduation. Seriously funny pictures. Maybe I will share some time =)
There are many companies out there for things like this but I used:

thats amazing !
That is awesome! I made one in highschool in my textiles class. It still makes me smile. I had 23 of my closest friends give me each a shirt and I used one of my own and had a 6x4 quilt. Even though not a single one of those people are in my life today, nor do I remember EVERY one of the people where the shirts came from, its definitely special. it made me happy to see this :)

Mine is a queen extra long I think. I also added another row to the original quilt to the bottom so it is a little larger.
thats super cool! like your entire life on a quilt! wow!
ooh, this is such a neat idea! maybe I'll have to do this sometime... I've been saving all of my tennis shirts and stuff for ages with no clue what to do with them. This is perfect!
beautiful!! i had no idea you could order this! i've been saving all of my daughter's tees in hopes of eventually making her one! i'd really love to MAKE it, but i'll bookmark these links just in case, lol!

These are so great, and sentimental. My girlfriend made one for her daughter who was going off to college. It was a quilt of her daughters sport t-shirts from high school. 1 - I have no idea how she became so crafty. 2 - I was totally impressed that she kept the t-shirts so nice. Mine would have been stained, or at least horribly faded.
What a brilliant business idea for someone to offer this service. Enjoy your weekend!
