T-shirt Quilt Day #4

I  had a lot of stitching today.  I finished all 5 of the columns on Saturday & pressed every seam.  I stitched the first two columns together.

Sunday afternoon was a day of more stitching.  I even had a helper...she has earned the title of "Escape Artist" since she has figured out how to jimmy the door to the room where we pen her when we don't want her to interfere.  :0)  The little stinker!

Right after my son took this picture he took her back to the room & got her to play with some of her toys.  She loves to be around people.  I was working in the dining room, kitchen & living rooms so I had enough space for everything & I STILL was cramped at times.

The hardest part was folding & rolling the quilt to stitch the sashing for the entire length & with the interfacing it didn't want to fold and bend nicely for me.  I also had to rip out two blocks and restitch them into place to get the sashing to line up, it was off by 1/2 an inch!  Way too much to let it be.  The shirts must have been longer than the others.  It was well worth the extra time to fix it then, You can't even notice it now.

I finished the quilt top Sunday evening about 11:00 pm.  Just in time to go to bed.  This morning the kids helped me take this photo of the quilt top.  I have 8 foot ceilings, just enough room to "stretch" out the quilt top.  Now I'll be shipping it off to campus quilt for the quilting process.  I'll post a FINAL picture of the completely finished quilt once I get it back.
