More is more?

OMG!  The t-shirt quilt I made for my daughter is like Joey Tribiani's entertainment center!  


As she outgrew her t-shirts, I started cutting out the logos.  I thought these would make a great quilt for her take to college.  Since the knit is so stretchy, I bordered the cut-outs with cotton fabric and stored the blocks.  This summer, I started assembling the blocks into panels.  
                    


















I used most of the blocks in the quilt top, but I had so many that I also placed some blocks in the backing.  
 
   
I knew it was big, when I measured it for the batting and backing.   But, now that it's sewn and quilted, it still hangs over the sides of my California King mattress.  

When it's on her TwinXL-sized dorm bed, will it overhang like that entertainment center covered Joey's and Chandler's doors?  

I need to know when to stop.  Less is more.  At least, it's completed.

The weekend begins today




I haven't been crafting much and haven't blogged in a REALLY long time.  The business of life (especially, commuting for kids who don't drive) took up most of my time.  But, my daughter got her driver's license this summer and my son began his driver education; so, I'm thinking that I will be able to get back to crafting.  

What to work on this weekend?  Canvases for my daughter's dorm room wall.  We're going to paint some and embellish with her favorite quotes, and stretch canvas photos on others.  Update to follow...
