myurbandreamokay, i'm finally back to working on my tshirt quilt - i only have about 5 weeks left until school starts and i want to be done by then. so i rounded up some more shirts to add to the quilt. i'm shooting for getting 49 usable tiles and deciding from there what to do - before i cut them up, of course. the plan is to have all of them picked out and placed before i even start cutting them up. we'll see.
but my math is coming out off by a round 10 tiles, so i need to type this up in a more organized way, i think. so here we go:
1 - brown Deutsche Klub
...front - text on top - tile #1
...back - full text - tile #2
2 - red Cougar Redvolution
...front - full text - tile #3
...back - discard #1
3 - gray McNeil BESTT
...front - tiny text - tile #4
...back - full text - tile #5
4 - blue Redeemer Grand Tour
...front - full text - tile #6
...back - text on top - tile #7
5 - blue Remain Silent
...front - full text - tile #8
...back - blank #1
6 - blue Colt Camp
...front - text on top - tile #9
...back - text on top - tile #10
7 - black This Side Up
...front - full text - tile #11
...back - blank #2
8 - black Kick Butt
...front - centered text - tile #12
...back - full text - tile #13
9 - black The Game
...front - centered text - tile #14
...back - blank #3
10 - black McNeil McDonald's
...front - tiny text - tile #15
...back - full text - tile #16
11 - black Deutschland
...front - full text - tile #17
...back - blank #4
12 - white Ushicon
...front - tiny text - tile #18
...back - full text - tile #19
13 - black FMA
...front - tiny text - tile #20
...back - oversized tile - tile #21
14 - black Sprachfest
...front - full text - tile #22
...back - discard #2
15 - red Cougar Red Rage
...front - full text - tile #23
...back - possible discard #3
16 - green Kiss Me
...front - text on top - tile #24
...back - blank
17 - brown Save A Horse
...front - text on top - tile #25
...back - blank
18 - red Uh Did You Know
...front - tiny text - tile #26
...back - possible discard #4
19 - red UH Caution
...front - tiny text - tile #27
...back - discard #4
20 - black Anime/Drugs
...front - full text - tile #28
...back - blank
21 - white campus living
...front - oversize tile 2 - tile #29
...back - full text - tile #30
22 - gray FBI
...front - centered text - tile #31
...back - blank
23 - yellow VBS
...front - full text (patchwork this one...) - tile #32
...back - blank
24 - gray You'd Be Cool
...front - centered text - tile #33
...back - blank
25 - green Chuy's
...front - full text - tile #34
...back - blank
26 - gray McNeil Nerds
...front - full text - tile #35
...back - full text - tile #36
27 - blue TASC
...front - centered text - tile #37
...back - tiny text - tile #38
28 - gray Psychoface
...front - oversized tile 3 - tile #39
...back - full text - tile #40
29 - white architecture
...front - full text - tile #41
...back - oversized tile 4 - tile #42
30 - gray Homecoming '04
...front - full text - tile #43
...back - full text - tile #44
so... here's what i have:
total pieces = 60
discards = 3 (maybe 5)
blanks = 11
tiles to keep = 44 (maybe 46)
if i'm shooting for 49 (7x7-tiled quilt) then i need at minimum three more tiles, and i'd be more comfortable with four or five. or i could just keep all my discards, and then i have the perfect number. but i discarded them for a reason - they look dumb, etc. usually the reason for which i don't really like to wear them. but this is for posterity, so i really should be including all the designs, even the ones i don't like at the moment... right?
31 - orange Psych Ward
...front - full text - tile #45
...back - blank
32 - green Chicago
...front - full text - tile #46
...back - full text - tile #47
that puts me at 47 tiles to keep, and then i can keep my two potential discards. so that puts me at the 49 that i want. yay!!!
okay, so now i have 49 tiles. i need to figure out how the oversized ones are going to work, and cut out all the tiles, and sew them together. steps one and two of that can kind of happen at the same time, i suppose. so that's next. scary!!! once i start cutting up shirts, i'm committed - point of no return.
