Carolyn's World Travel T-shirt quilt

For those of you who knows Carolyn, she is my most well travelled friend, having been to 83 countries thus far! During her travels she has collected t-shirts from various places however she has given some of them away. This t-shirt quilt has 40 t-shirts showing the 7 continents she has been to. Guess the 7 continents!






Some of the favourite pieces are:


This is from a t-shirt which Carolyn owned dating back to her days in NZ in the 1990s! A bit "worn out"! There was a lot of debate if it should go into the quilt!

Yes, Carolyn has been to Timbuktu and back! (one of the few people who has been there and back!) This is a t-shirt she decided to "sacrifice" for the quilt


Some other interesting places Carolyn has been to............ Moscow, Cancun!

Love the colours in the t-shirt quilt, very very colourful and vibrant! I used the left over t-shirts to do the borders and the effect is very colourful!

This t-shirt is truly a "community" effort. The prototype was done by Carolyn and Lily. Sewing was done by Shin Ning and myself using my "rolls royce" Bernina machine!

Good effort Carolyn. By the way, you passed test for 1)using scissors 2)basting quilts. We can proceed with your Coca Cola quilt!
