It's a finish!
Shirts and Giggles
76 inches square
hand quilted
vintage inspired
This is the vintage quilt that inspired me to make my own version. I saw it on Ebay a long time ago.
Made from men's shirts from the thrift store (Shirts) and some 1930s reproduction prints that remind me of my grandmother's dresses (Giggles).
Broken Wheels, Flying Geese, Puss in the Corner blocks.
I finished the top back in 2019.
Big stitch hand quilted with blanc perle #12.
The backing and binding.
The crocus were blooming in little patches in the lawn (where the squirrels must have scattered them over the years) near my clothesline a few days ago. Now you can see what's on the ground near my clothesline and I think there is more predicted for today. Well, at least I know Spring is trying to sprung!!
And sew on...

Gorgeous quilt, congratulations on the finish!
Everything about this quilt brings a big smile!
I love medallion quilts and your fabric selection for this one is great. Plaids are comforting, no two ways about it.
I love your finish! The variety of blocks look like they were made to play together! I always look forward to the bulbs emerging from the earth. . .it tells me Spring is near!
Love this quilt, so perfectly vintage and homey.
Shirts and Giggles is a triumph! How beautiful it is. Love the vintage vibe all those fabrics and patterns evoke.
What a super finish! All the colors and values all support each other for a unified quilt. Hand quilting always amazes me.
It is gorgeous, Cathy and love that you added fabric that reminded you of your grandmother. Beautiful job.
You did a great job of recreating that antique quilt. Love the name.
Fabulous quilt Cathy! Love the vintage look. Spring is in the air your side! Crocus reminds me of Norway, they don't grow in this hot/humid climate.
Love it, yours is better than the original.
That is absolutely beautiful! Great job in every way!
I do hope you are keeping this one - I love it for SO many reasons.
Super quilt! You are very clever to make such a great quilt - love the title too!
Another fabulous finish! It's so cool how the two quilts look similar and yet different!
I LOVE this quilt!
I love the Broken Wheel block. I think I have a version called gears.
What a great collection of blocks and to have themed fabrics is fantastic!!!
'Tis a homerun my friend!
I like the complexity of the different blocks. Clever fabric genre combination. And a great name!
