These “twin” quilts are made from recycled shirts. I stumbled upon several shirts that I thought looked good together and decided to make a simple quilt for Project Warm Embrace. When it came to the backing, I found a peach fabric, but wanted something a bit more gender neutral. Digging through my stash, I found a great vintage cowboy flannel border print. So much for gender neutral. Anyway, I made the larger quilt to fit the backing fabric that I had, then with the leftover blocks I made the smaller quilt. It got the original peach fabric. Both quilts were bound with fabric from yet another shirt.

As for my task list for the quilt show – I just need to put the label on En Provence and take pictures of it and the Hourglass quilt. The quilts will be dropped off on Thursday.
