A Hippie T-Shirt Quilt

I usually make the borders of my t-shirt quilts in subdued colors that capture the high school colors. However, the particular young lady for whom this quilt was made was involved in many activities and her mom wanted to include shirts from her early dance years. The resulting colors were quite varied. When I spied this Hippie Chicks fabric I thought it would capture most of the t-shirt colors.
