Through our teenage years (OK, still to this day), my brother and I went to hundreds of concerts. It's all we'd ever spend our hard-earned chore money on. We've collected many a precious T-shirt while following our favorite bands on tours.
Now we have outgrown them, but wanting to keep them alive for our memories, we've had our mother turn the T-shirts into quilts. This one here is the first quilt my mother ever tried making, so trying with old T-shirts was good practice for her and just an amazing recycled gift for us! Even though it's a bit crooked, we cherish it more than you can imagine. All our favorite bands now keep us warm at night. Sweet dreams.

As I was getting ready for college, I realized two things: one, I had too many t-shirts. Two, I loathed parting with said T-shirts. Here's how to keep those well-worn memories fun and useful.
