This Tarragon twinsize quilt was created last year for a future Northwestern Wildcat. I had made pillows for his siblings and aunts and a quilt and pillow for his dad so now it was his turn!
Many of the shirts were from his early childhood, not just high school. I loved the fact that several of the shirts had transferred photographs like the beautiful Basset Hound you see below. One of the blue mini-designs is from a neckerchief he wore at camp.
Amongst other activities Charlie played baseball. I have no idea if this was a high school spiritwear shirt or from a Babe Ruth or JCC team but I DO know he was number 26.
The entire family are huge fans of the various Cincinnati professional teams. The Reds shirt is from Spring Training in Florida. I quilted heavily around the alligator so that the head would really pop.
I hope that this quilt has kept him warm during those frigid Chicago winters!
