Have Faith

Have Faith, Machine Quilting
Have Faith White Ribbon - Adult
Cross t-shirts were used to make the squares. The t-shirts pieces were lined with t-shirt stabilizer to make the sewing and quilting process easier and to keep the t-shirts from stretching. I had an inspiring cross print material that I felt complemented the t-shirt cross theme and used that for the border. The butterfly material I chose for the back continues with the pattern of having faith.

Quiltmaker(s) and Credit
Caitlynn Smart - Karnes County - pieced the top and finished the quilt. Connie Smart - Karnes County - used a long-arm quilting machine to quilt the quilt. The quilting was done free hand and the idea was to outline the crosses to show them off and then use a meandering stitch pattern in between the crosses.
