Your Life in T-shirts

Are you one of those people whose life story could be told through your T-shirts?  Where you've been, the concerts you attended, the schools you went to, the slogans you live by, or used to?

Michael Prager in the Boston Globe today has found a company -StitchT.com - that will make

quilts and duvet covers from used T-shirts, honoring a venerable craft while serving a modern impulse: to use what exists instead of throwing away and using more. Each shirt is screened for holes and blemishes and laundered before assemblage on a backing of cotton gray sweatshirt material (new!) or cotton gray fabric. They'll make a quilt out of your shirts, or you can buy one they've already assembled; each is one of a kind. Prices range from $300 to $450

For a twin-size, you need 18 t-shirts, for a full or queen 25 t-shirts will do.  Don't have enough?  Let the company hand pick from their resources, theme-related t-shirts to meet the requirement.  A wonderful take on two American classics.
