CH was asked by TM to make a T-shirt quilt for her son, Declan. It would be made of T-shirts from colleges and universities that Declan's relatives had attended. Seeing these reminders of colleges every day would be inspiration for Declan to always strive to do his best in school, so he too could plan on attending college when he became of age. It would also remind him of the various relatives who had gone before him in their studies. Declan has relatives in many far-flung places, and they went to colleges and universities large and small.
TM showed CH a sample quilt to use for the general idea; it's the quilt that is currently on Declan's bunk bed:
Love the bright colors and the mix of prints!
TM started collecting T-shirts from colleges that Declan's relatives had attended. Many were ordered online from college bookstores. Finally, the last one arrived, and the quilt could be started!
