So I had not quilted in about 10 years and what better way to begin again that with a damn hard project. Knits are not fun to sew with....
One of my all time favorite bands is Norwegian extreme progressive metal band Enslaved. So needless to say, I have a butt-load of shirts from the seeing them in concert a number of times. So it was time to make some room in the closet and pay tribute at the same time!
Beginnings...
I first cut shirt fronts and backs into 14 inch squares. The 16x16 square ruler is my new friend.
Then I put black fusible interface on the back to make them easier to deal with.
I did this a little different from a regular quilt in that I quilted each square individually and then sewed them together afterword.
Binding time...
Finished products...
Quilt one...
Quilt Two
And my favorite one...
Next up...a "normal" "simple" quilt...
You're inspiring my husband! (He's a big metal fan, too, and is discovering his crafty side.)
