Lap Quilt from A Husband's T-SHirts

Here is a small lap quilt made from remnants of T-shirts used in a memory quilt for a Dad who passed away unexpectedly. Since the remaining pieces were odd shaped this "lopsided snowball" design was a perfect fit. There was enough of each color T-shirt to construct nine "flowers".  The yo-yo flower centers are constructed from the backing fabric wich also forms the binding. The quilting on each flower petal is done in a free motion technique using a pretty varigated thread  from Superior Threads called King Tut and the color is called Jospeh's Coat.....a beautiful multi color spectrum found in all the fabrics used one the quilt front.
