yes, I am working on a t-shirt quilt right now. My niece asked for pink and black. Now, first of all, I hate pink! But, to put it with black, is even harder for me, let alone combine that with multi-colored t-shirts. However.......After I got it all put together, it does look really nice. (I still dont like pink)

You can see it in my avatar, my granddaughter is sitting on it. It turned out really nice. Made us both happy.

The Editors and Contributors of Quiltmaker Magazine has printed a book called Tuck Me In which gives the patterns for 18 cute and cuddly quilts for kids. It is sold on Amazon. These are wonderful patterns. Something that would be prized not only because of who made the quilt but because of the delightful pattern appropriate to a child.

Ya'll are getting my mind going now. I don't feel lost and helpless any more. I was really feeling bus left!

how about a french braid quilt of the solid colors in rows with this fabric between the rows and for the border? or a pinwheel quilt or a twister quilt? those would all be pretty using this fabric with coordinates.
