I've had two people visit this blog in the past couple of days looking for Bella's T-shirt quilt like the one Renee gives Bella in the movie when she visits. Renee gives Bella this quilt so she'll stay warm when she goes to college in Alaska--little does Renee know. It's one of the more poignant moments in the film and a nice addition and story point in the movie that wasn't in the book originally. As a quilter, I got warm fuzzies when I learned about it early this spring when a I read a leaked script and then saw the photos. I love seeing quilts in movies.
You can see a little bit of it here:
"You'll always be my Bella....."
I've never made a T-shirt quilt and didn't want to until Twilight. I collected T-shirts from Twilight, the movie, but I never did anything with them. (This is nothing new...I have a lot of ideas, but something always gets in the way. I find it laughable once again that someone else is making a T-Shirt quilt of Twilight Ts. Yeah, you know who from which group. Everyone loves my ideas, they just don't like me because I'm such a bad person and don't respect other people's work among other things. blah, blah, blah)
When I saw Bella's T-Shirt quilt, I wanted to make one of course. I even looked on Ebay for some Ts and asked around to see if wanted to donate their old Ts at the other Twilight chat group I visited. (Yet again one of those projects that never got off the ground or became more of me mentioning it is and idea.) I did see it as a potential Twilight quilt project that I could share or get people involved with. Once again, no one but me got excited.
I won't be surprised if is someone else takes the idea and runs with it now that the movie is out. Bella T-Shirt Quilt for sale. Have a quilt just like Bella's..... I can see it now!
