So about ten years ago I first heard of the idea of taking old t-shirts and making a quilt out of them. Apparently, this sort of thing is popular with folks who have, say, dozens of t-shirts from running races and that sort of thing. I loved the idea of making a Wacky quilt out of my t-shirts, boxers, pajamas etc. At the time I was dating a woman who was highly skilled at making quilts and I started to gather all my material together to start working with her on it. Unfortunately, that relationship ended soon thereafter and I sort of gave up on the idea of a Wacky quilt. Recently, however, someone on Nextdoor.com asked if there was a quiltmaker in the area. A woman reported that she had quilt her corporate job and turned to quiltmaking full time. Even better, she lived in my neighborhood. I contacted her and we talked through my idea of making a Wacky quilt out of all sorts of Wacky clothing material I had. After a fair amount of planning and work, I picked up my quilt yesterday. I may never be able to paint a Wacky or even write one, but at least I can say I had some hand in the creation of this bit of "original art". Hope you like it and please steal this idea. I'd love to see more stuff like this in the Wacky-verse.
