Friday I was at whits end and decided to take a mental health day. I work from home and am my own boss but RARELY do I even just take a day off….Friday I gave in.
I grabbed my shirts and come solids and started playing. I sewed blocks on Friday and sewed them into this on Saturday.
It was so fun!! If I get enough requests, I will do a little tutorial….nothing fancy but enough information that you can make your own. I think this would be so fun for a kid quilt or a picnic quilt. I don’t have it quilted. Right now I am debating whether I want to put it on my Grand Quilter or wait for the new APQS machine to come.
Someone asked yesterday why I was selling mine and getting a new machine. Well…my old machine was good but I think I am ready for an upgrade. A new machine will be faster and give me more options. Kelli and I are starting to do bigger projects and I want to do fancier work. When I got my first machine, I was happy and content with what it could do. At this point I think I have met this machine’s potential and want more.
I loved working on this quilt top….it was so relaxing and fun to play with the placement of the squares.
To see what others are working on check out Patchwork Times.
Would love a tutorial – stunning quilt!
Would really enjoy a tutorial ! Please!
A tutorial on the quilt would be greatly appreciated. I agree, this would be a fun quilt for a child. I can see it as a smaller baby quilt too. Thanks for sharing!
Yes – please share your talents with us. This looks like a really cute quilt.
In my wildest dreams I can’t imagine sewing this quilt in 2 days! Love it!
I also would love a tutorial on this quilt. It looks like a lot of fun to make.
I know what you mean about wanting an upgrade after using the full extent of your machine’s potential. I have my Hobby Grand Quilter on my frame and I am now looking at a larger harp machine (like the new P3) to put on the frame. Either that or I want a stitch regulator. I can’t make up my mind – sigh! Are you going to take in quilts for other people on your new set-up?
me too!!!! love quilts that can be cut and sewn quickly!!
I would love to see a tutorial on this quilt. I was thinking I would like to make a quilt out of shirts.

very cute would love the instructions, always looking for something you can do in a weekend or couple of days. It helps break up those big tedious projects. Thanks
Love how you have combined the shirts with the bright solids. Great quilt. A tutorial would be nice. Thanks for sharing.
Love the quilt. Would really like a tutorial. Thanks so much!!
Beautiful quilt top!
Fun quilt!! Taking a mental health day every now and then keeps us balanced:)
I have a pile of strips and scraps that need to be tamed. I’d love to use them in something like this. Please share a tutorial.
Adorable, wait for your new machine. I love my long arm and maybe someday an upgrade for me too. I love this quilt and think you have a winner on your hands.
ps we all need days off regularly plus mental health days~~
Count me in! Would love a tutorial. I have a box of donated brights to make up for church, looks great for kids quilts! Thank you.
Me, too, I’d love a tutorial. This would make a fun crib quilt.
I also would love a tutorial. I have been thinking of making a picnic quilt for one of my daughters and her family, and I think a quilt like this would be a good one.
I’d love a tutorial on that quilt. I don’t sew with shirts, but have plenty of stash to choose from. I was surprised to see the machine you were quilting on. I thought you had a longer arm machine – you really deserve it. Thanks for sharing.
Would love a tutorial on this quilt. I have so many baby fabric scraps that might work well with this pattern.
I want to make this. Great stashbusting quilt. It looks like fun and it really turned out great. Would also make a great Christmas quilt. Please give in to all our comments and help us all with a tutorial. Thank you for sharing.

Your mental health days sure are productive!! I LOVE it!!
I really like the idea of this quilt because it could be made in so many different fabrics and could fit almost any person. Yours is fun, playful, and yet practical and I agree, it is the perfect kid (male or female) quilt. And, good for you for taking a mental health day. I always believed in them when I worked (a mental health worker) and do even now as a retired person. ;-)
