    Because I choose an old red blanket as batting and a light sheet as backing, the back looks almost like it has the chicken pox. But no mind. SIL doesn't care. I don't care. I'm glad to have another one done. tgif!

    DH used to live in Hawaii and always said they could spot the tourists by the shirts they wear. Hence the name - "Tourist Trap".

    I didn't get a pic of the label, but it's a mini quilt, attached into one of the pockets.

    Materials - Skirts, shirts and scraps.
    Pattern - none
    batting - old blanket
    backing - old sheet

    total cost: about $10.00
    Where are the pictures?

    That's neat! I've been collecting "tropical" shirts from Goodwill, and this gives me some inspiration.
