The pile of my husbands retired t-shirts in my sewing room was beginning to take up a bit too much space. There were 40 t-shirts. FOURTY! So they went to the chopping block. I cut them into various sizes and played a quick Tetris game to line them up on a fleece backing. And tacked them down with pins, pins and more pins. About 200. Right now I love it. I love that it is not symmetrical or perfect, yet comfy. Wish this one luck as it goes under the needle!
