Congratulations, ForeverRoses! Alum, thanks for the link! You're lucky, having two tones of blue - I don't like to work with little colors while "outside".
And, I had completely forgotten that I have to make a quilt square by the end of July for an auction!

does making a t-shirt quilt count?

In my book it does! What was the theme of the shirts? What are you using for sashing? I love seeing everyone's projects. Can you mount a picture to this thread? I haven't figured out how to do that.
Last year I made 2 for our graduating hs sr. One consisted of all hs era activities from Scouts to clubs, teams, G School, Girls' State, Page Semester etc. The other were shirts from actual road races and invitationals. I found a batik fabric that was predominantly one of her hs colors for the hs quilt. I was lucky enough to find a women-running themed fabric for the race quilt.

I've been knitting scarves. I know it's hot and so hard to think about, but I want to give everyone a really nice scarf this year for Christmas. And I can knit nicer ones than I can afford to buy everyone.
I've been meaning to find a fun KD patten though for a wall hanging or pillow.

LOL! I ordered the AOII one when my oldest pledged--I already had the Pi Phi one--and the eBay seller asked me how many daughters I had. When I told her 9, she sent me about 12 of those needlework brochures with her best wishes!

I've been doing a lot of knitting lately. Go figure - it's hot and humid and I'm knitting. 
I'm also working on finishing up a needlepoint piece that I set aside some time before I was married.  I only have to fill in some background stuff and then block it.

i'm still hoping that one of these days, i'll finish the crossstitch pattern i've been working on intermittently for...five years now? maybe? that thing has travelled the world with me. it's an assortment of flowers, quite pretty. i keep toying with the idea of finding a phi psi pattern and making a pillow or something for my brother (though that sounds a bit silly, i mean what's a 20 year old boy going to do with a pillow? :P) anyone have suggestions for what i could make it into? im not talented enough to make my own, so if there's a free site to convert images to xstich patterns, that'd be dandy too

You probably shocked the socks off of her! I can see that poor woman now, rubbing her hands with glee, hoping that you add yet another GLO to your garden!

i am going to make my old TBS shirts into a quilt. I'm about 85% sure i have enough shirts to make a nice sized quilt. If not, i will sprinkle in a school shirt here or there or maybe an old band camp t-shirt... yes, i am a 28 year old woman and i said band camp t-shirt!
I have been thinking about doing it for a while but never actually started. This summer it will happen so this fall I'll have a cozy quilt to nap upon.
