Or could you find a T-shirt and use it as the center, then build it up to size with pieced borders? <br /><br />I think if I ever find my own huge glow in the dark Marvin T-shirt, it might make its way into a quilt for my own boys.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308680396802432722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-765801538608280633.post-21824900534185111482011-07-10T10:03:16.244-04:002011-07-10T10:03:16.244-04:00I love your quilt and it does not matter what any ...I love your quilt and it does not matter what any of us say...do what's in your heart.

From your son's perspective, I am sure he will love anything you make for him.
