In all reality, 5 years from now, no one will remember who made the quilt. Mom had it made for a teenager. She gave it to "jr.". He took it to school. He used it for a picnic. He took it camping. He took it to the swimming hole. Someone got drunk, and they barfed on it. It got trashed.

Hypothetically, it would hold up pretty well, depending on how many times it gets washed, but how many "jrs" (or jr-ettes) actually wash?

These are quilts she is selling. She is not making family heirlooms, neither is she suggesting she is making family heirlooms to be handed down to the grandchildren. The grandchildren won't care if you won the "Green Leaf Soccer league" playoffs. They will not keep that quilt. It doesn't matter who well a t-shirt quilt is made, it's ugly and they won't keep it.

Would you?

You guys who are critical of what she is doing - look at the best t-shirt quilt out there and tell me you would save it if it had nothing to do with you. What if it had something to do with what you did 30 years ago? Did you keep all your high school annuals? What about the high school banners? Your prom dress?

We all grow up and move on. These are not heirloom quilts.
