Jake's T-Shirt Quilt

Jake and I are a little weird.

We have a hard time throwing things out,

including clothes. We both have

boxes of t-shirts from our high school

and college years, which we will 

probably never wear again.

So for our anniversary, I turned

Jake's t-shirts into a quilt.

It was quite the project, and I 

couldn't have done it without my mom.

I did all of the cutting, ironing, reinforcing,

purchasing, and designing. She did all 

of the sewing (which was a lot).

I don't think either one of us realized

what a project it was going to be

(good thing I was in Utah for so long!).

But the finished product, and Jake's

excitement, made it all worth it:

It's the perfect blanket for us to snuggle

up with and watch a movie, and I look

forward to doing so for many years.
