My wife Maureen is making a quilt out of some of my favorite T-shirts that are too snug on me. The shirts must have shrunk. I couldn't be getting wider. The top is all sewn together and waiting for her to put it together with a fleece backing. I'm a lucky guy. There are 4 petroliana swap meet T-shirts in there, 5 auto paint shirts and more with tools, hot rods, Route 66 and a Hubba pinstripe art shirt. Kind of autobiographical for me.

That's really a cool idea Jim. I've got enough T shirts to make a bunch of those myself. Isn't it amazing how many you can collect? My wife's not really that big on sewing but I'll show it to her, maybe she will be inspired.....GB

Looks great. My wife did that for me many years ago for Christmas. One of my favorite gifts. It kept all my favorite (but worn out) t-shirts "alive" and it's also everyone's favorite blanket to wrap up in when it's movie night on a cold winter day!
