I was testing out the snowflake on a sweatshirt for my Mom, and just kept going. Encased the bottom in fabric and stipple quilted it. The top and sleeves I left original.

I did the bottom part because of a fade line where it was folded on a shelf for a long time. Cut above it, and then used the bottom as batting between the cotton prints, and after quilting, sewed it back together!

I was away for the weekend to help a friend with her first quilt, and just came back to all these lovely comments! Makes me feel so good. Yes, I cut the ribbing off the bottom, so it was a flat piece of sweatshirt to quilt. I also just sewed the heart buttons on for decoration and put velcro dots on to help her close it easier.
