Yesterday I received a bag of Tee-shirts to be used in the making of a quilt. So last night the first step was to take a picture of the shirts to create a layout(s) for the client to choose a design that they like.
Step 1: Taking photos of the shirts
The stack of tee-shirts that the photos where taken from.
Step 2: Starting the initial layout
Pictured above is the photo of the shirt on the right hand screen and the preliminary layout on the screen on the left.
Step 3: The initial layout
The first tee-shirt layout
Step 4: Preparing a second layout
The screen shows the 'blocks' or elements of the quilt border being changed for a second layout.
Step 4a: The second layout
Shown above the second layout
4b: The third layout
Currently, the client has layouts 2 & 3 for considerations and may want something. I will continue this once I know the direction the client wants to go in.

Current Project
art quilts, arts and crafts, custom quilts, digital images, digital photos, family, family photographs, fiber art, hand crafted, handicrafts, handmade quilts, long arm quilting, memory quilts, mosaic photo quilts, mosaic quilts, photographs, photographs and memories, photos, quilt art, quilt top, quilting, quilts, scrap booking, scrap books, traditional photographs, traditional quilt, traditional quilts, wall hangings, wallhangings
I am placing a visual record my quilting and fiber art projects. I also hope to shortly start posting short video clips to show what I’m doing. I would like to get the word out about how I use the traditional quilt as the means to show photographs and images that individuals, families, even as displays for businesses. With traditional photographs stored in boxes and albums which very few people get to see and digital images stored on hardrives or in the “clouds”, I hope that this blending of a traditional craft and images becomes a popular form of art for displaying family photographs and memories that can be past person to person, through families and as a legacy between generations.

Welcome to my Quilts Projects Blog
This blog is where I plan to place a visual record my quilting and fiber art projects. I also hope to shortly start posting short video clips to show what I’m doing. I would like to get the word out about how I use the traditional quilt as the means to show photographs and images that individuals, families, even as displays for businesses.
