The Thread Engineer

Last spring I was asked to put together a quilt for my friend's parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary.  Over the years her parents had 'Cousin Camp' during the summers for their grandchildren.  Each year the kids were given a different color t-shirt that Grandpa had decorated.  Often the kids added their own decorations as well.  The t-shirt were nice!  I was able to find a striped fabric that contained most of the bright colors and went to town piecing.  With the addition of a few embroidered blocks, the quilt was finished.
