I began my shirt anvil quilt in 2020 after watching Beth Shibley's video on the anvil block. It was a top in 2023. As part of my 5 quilt project, I have been moving it along. I really enjoyed sewing and working with recycled shirt fabrics from my stash. the shirts are soft and stable and cozy and hold their shape so well.
Now, it is a finished quilt. This was my one monthly goal for May and my 3rd ufo finish for May.
It started as recreational sewing with no plans for a quilt. I would just sew a few when I needed to unwind. I enjoyed making them so much, that eventually, I had so many it had to become a quilt.

I love your quilt! I do like the anvil block and an anvil quilt is on my list of someday quilts.These plaids and stripes are perfect for this pattern. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great anvil quilt! I love what plaids do to a pattern.
ReplyDeleteWow - that is beautiful. All those plaids are great. Way to go finishing 3 UFOs in one month.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, Maggie!
ReplyDeleteI like this one - all that great plaid! the blocks are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI bet the blocks are really soft too since the fabric came from shirts. Beautifully finished. You've had a very good year on the UFO front.
ReplyDeleteAnother pattern for my shirt collection! I love seeing what others do with their shirts.
ReplyDeleteThis "anvil block" is new to me -- and perfect for all those HSTs I've got (made from Bonnie Hunter "bonus triangles" over several years). Your quilt is lovely! Thanks for the idea.
