I had to send this to my mother-in-law (she was my mother-in-law-ish for a long long long time...my mother even called my now husband her sin-in-law) as soon as I read this. My husband had a huge and ever growing pile of t-shirts he couldn't part with, and his mom made a great quilt out of them. And it's not just perfect squares of t-shirts cut out...there's lots of asymmetry and non-angular shapes, and toasty flannel on the back. It has everything from his little league shirts to concert shirts from the 80's to shirts from various jobs he has had. It really is a little like "this is your life" and clarly made with a whole lotta love, and for some reason, that makes it all the more warm and snuggly! And already our almost 5 month old seems really drawn to it, so I hope it will span the generations like Gregg and Elliott's quilt. Great story, Michaela.
