I had a king sized made with 64 shirts by Project Repat. I used some of my 5k and 10k shirts. I want to save my half marathon shirts for a separate quilt. It was a Christmas gift from my husband. You’ll love it!

I sent in my shirts to Project Repat about 2 weeks ago and can’t wait to see the finished product. It will be fun seeing lots of other runners blankets posted too. You have run so many races that I agree, it would be hard to choose which ones to include!
