I did this a few weeks back but never officially blogged about it or posted it anywhere because I never got out my good camera and took photos of it.

Well, I did. I didn’t take *good* photos of it, but it’s a step up from the cell phone pix that I had!

I have a huge collection of crappy band shirts that are of the hardcore/numetal/radio rock genre.  I’ve been hoarding them thinking I could make some cute tops out of them but realized I’d be embarrassed to wear some of these bands around (Limp Bizkit?! haha).  

So, they were perfect for my deconstructed t-shirt quilt top experiment. I had about 25 black and grey shirts and I made 50 blocks out of the shirts that I’d cut up into smaller pieces and re-pieced together. I embroidered some of the pieces and did some fabric painting on some plain black squares to give it a more destroyed/deconstructed look.

Anyway, here’s my first attempt at piecework. 

yeah. lotsa slipknot. to slip, or not to slip? slipkNOT.
