A friends of mine made a quilt out of the high school t shirts that her son no longer wears. I thought that was a good idea and a nice way to preserve HS memories.

Nice Fleece Blanket anyone??
I made an awesome large fleece blanket for our dd a couple years ago. One material was a really neat Navy big logo surrounded by other nautical/naval pictures. Didn't knot the edges together, but rather sewed it around the edges inside out, then turned it right side out. After i sewed up the "turning hole" i then sewed around the edges again & w/ the fleece it made a very nice "finished" edge.
It was the envy of many Midshipmen friends [NROTC] cuz it was so large, warm & not uncomfortable to lay on like some fleece blankets made by knotting the edges.
Wanted to make another one later, but cannot find the material again :[
