Running with Scissors

• 

What have I been doing the past few weeks (besides neglecting my blog)

• Helping with the Step Forward to Cure TSC Walk & 5K (Which raised $40,000!)
• Reading a fluffy romance (cotton candy for the brain)
• Cleaning Closets and our guest room (had to be done)
• Painting the guest room
• Finishing a t-shirt quilt I started over a year ago!

The crappy weather this past weekend was perfect for staying indoors and finishing this project that I have been thinking about since I started running. Not long after I finished my first 5k I was reading a running magazine and saw an ad for someone who makes t-shirt quilts. I thought, "I could make one of those." Well, eight plus years later I finished my first one.

The quilt is a conglomeration of shirts scarfs from runs, concerts and favorites from my drawer mixed in with some fabric. Much like me, the pattern is random, the fabric combinations are unconventional and the corners aren't perfect.
