I really wish I had the ability to make these large quilts. A lot of clothes that have worn out past the point of donation would be a perfect for such a project, and just think I could then donate the quilt. Thank you for sharing your artwork with us and if you haven't already done so there is still time to make a quilt square for the Skull Appreciation Day quilt project. You can find detail about it here.

  1. That is fantastic....it's not easy using old tees for quilting!

    I'm working hard on a couple of squares to donate...hope to have them in the mail this weekend!:)

    I've had so much fun doing these I'm thinking of making a wallhanging for myself!

  2. Totally f'ing awesome! Killer work, Ben!

    As for me, I have a bunch of old tattoo shop t-shirts that I'm sure my wife would rather see on a quilt than in my closet. lol!
