T-shirt Quilt is June OMG Project
It is June already. Graduations are in the air and school years are winding down or are over. Perhaps not quite the way it was envisioned back at the start of the school year, but over nevertheless. It is time for us to select our project to work on this month as our June OMG. Patty at Elm Street Quilts hosts a monthly OMG linky party and we take great inspiration from this. Thank you, Patty – we sure do appreciate the linkup opportunity each month. In the graduation and end-of-school-year spirit, we are going to finish the t-shirt quilt for Sydney.
Sydney T-Shirt OMG
My great-niece, Sydney, has had a lot of excitement in her life recently. She just turned 18-years-old and is graduating from high school. Throughout her schooling, Sydney has excelled in both swimming and gymnastics. She gave us a bag of t-shirts and sweatshirts saved from a variety of meets and competitions.
T-shirt Quilt for Sydney
For the month of June, our OMG project is to quilt this behemoth and get it into the new graduate’s hands.
And the birthday girl with her absolute favorite chocolate cake – there is never too much chocolate! Happy Birthday, Sydney! It won’t be long and she will be off to college in Wisconsin, assuming they have on-campus classes. We’ll see!
Doesn’t this cake look delicious?! The sprinkles make it even more delicious and special, at least for Syd.
Join us each Tuesday for our hosted linky party called To-Do Tuesday. Our other Linky Parties can be found by clicking the link above or along the sidebar on our website for more quilting fun – check out what our friends are up to.

Sprinkles! Cake! what a cutie! Good luck to Sydney and to you as your work on her quilt!
I’m sure Sydney will love this quilt when it’s done Roseanne. So many memories and to be able to feel a quilty hug from you and Sue every night will be wonderful. I need cake now. 😉 Carol
What a fun quilt and a great way to save all those neat t shirts! How nice and comfy it will be to cuddle in! Hugs!
You CAN do it!! This is IMHO the nicest t-shirt quilt I’ve seen. 🙂 Truly. I love the colours. I also am with Sydney on her opinion on chocolate!
Sydney looks like a sweetie, Roseanne! She’s going to love that quilt, too. Hope you’re making good progress!
Thank you for sharing with Patchwork & Quilts link party 😉
Great t shirt quilt. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck on your project.
Great goal for June! I’ll take one piece of cake please. As people post picks of their young adult family members, they look so young. Close my eyes and I think it was yesterday for me to be that age. I can remember days so clearly of things that happened. Open my eyes and I can’t remember what day it is or what I went in the other room to find. Have a great one today.
Great quilt and happy birthday Sydney! The cake looks fabulous! Stay well!
Happy belated Birthday to Sydney. You definitely can’t go wrong with a chocolate birthday quilt. Good luck with your OMG!
What a great pile of t-shirts, it’s going to be a beautiful memory and celebration quilt!
What an exciting time for Sydney and her family and of course great aunt! Love how you have put all the t-shirts together and looking forward to seeing your finished quilt. Sydney will treasure it I bet.
Great choice: to finish the behemoth t-shirt quilt! i need to get started on mine … later 🙂
And the chocolate cake … oh chocolate cake … I love chocolate cake! Happy Birthday, Sydney! I hope you really, really enjoyed the cake!
And congrats on graduating!
Happy Quilting! 🙂
It looks great and the cake too.
Sydney sounds like a fine young lady! I hope she loves her quilt and enjoyed the yummy chocolate cake.
you can’t go wrong with chocolate cake and a tshirt quilt – happy birthday to Sydney
Oh, good! I was wondering what you would choose. This seems like the perfect answer. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
That t-shirt quilt is fabulous. I’m sure she will love it! Good luck on your goal.
That cake! I could eat every bit of it!!! LOL, And that quilt! She will love having a piece of you gals with her at school. Love it.
You’re gonna be the t-shirt quilt experts soon; I’ll keep that in mind when I decide to quit putting mine off!
This looks like it is going to be another fabulous t-shirt quilt! Cute picture of Sydney with her cake.
A t-shirt quilt is on my “one day I’ll make that” list. Sydney is going to love hers for sure.

Love the tshirt quilt! Always wanted to try, but am too sure that I would wreck my son’s collection of tshirts.
