design wall monday

Wow, it has been so long since I posted.  I have been sewing, a bit, but haven't taken any pictures and, well, I don't like to read blogs that don't have pictures so............I had to charge up the battery for the camera and get a photo taken.
This is what I have been working on over the weekend.
This idea has been in the back of my mind for a year or so.  I think I saw it in a Kaffe book.
The other day I was driving by the thrift store and saw they had all clothing at $1.  I did a quick u-turn thinking I would pick up a couple red sweaters to turn in to 'ugly christmas sweaters'.
As I was looking I kept seeing blue stripe shirts and remembered this project.  15 shirts later this is what I have to show.  I still have about 4 shirts left to cut into but I am so over cutting at this point I needed to start seeing some progress.

  1. Great idea! And it looks fantastic. I have some shirts I collected for a project that didn't get off the ground. Now I know what to do with them. How big are your squares? 4, 8 and 12 inches?
