It was a workout just hanging the quilt to get a picture.
The dark line is a shadow from the swingset.
The customer requested a simple stipple. I kept it large to avoid being a distraction with the pictures.

T-Shirt Quilt Denim Quilt
First I would like to say that this quilt is HEAVY! If there is anyone in need of a therapy quilt for sensory issues, this is the one. The customer used not only t-shirts, but sweatshirts fused to interfacing. The batting was cotton, and the backing was flannel. To add to the weight, all the sashing is denim. I am glad I didn't piece this one. I wonder how many needles were broken during the construction.
It is far from perfect. Most jeans have spandex in them, so that made it a little stretchy. Nothing like a little stretch in the jeans to go with the stretch in the shirts. I didn't break any needles. I did find 2 spots where I had a skipped stitch. I went back and fixed those, and all was good.
