T Shirt Quilt, Help Please
I have never made a T shirt quilt before, so I spent a few hours reading the posts here, on how to make one. I think I have all the info I need to made the quilt.
What I would like to know is, could I do a quilt as you go for this quilt. I'm going to join the blocks with sashing anyway. I am not real good at doing the quilting on a big quilt on my sewing machine so this would be better for me. Do you think it would look ok. I'm going to try and make my blocks with a shadow strip so it will look like the blocks are floating on the back ground. I seen a real pretty quilt here made by Watterstide with a shadow strip. anyway I was just wondering if the quilt as you go would work.. Thank you |
You can always try a mini test quilt using the parts of the t-shirts your not using and other scrap fabric!
That way if you don't like it or it doesn't work like planned, you havent ruin anything. Good Luck! |
in my book the best way to do t-shirt quilts is ---- quilt as you go-
makes it so much easier to quilt each block as you go along- that's the way i've done 3 of them so far- same way i do raggy quilts- i quilt each block-then construct the quilt. go for it. if you can dream it--you can accomplish it :) |
Thank you Ckcowl
I'm glad that soneone else has made this quilt that way and it turned out ok....I think I will go for it, as I would make a mess out of the quilt if I tried to quilt it after it was put together. I have made one other quilt as you go and it turned out ok but it wasn't a t shirt quilt... LOL Thanks eveyone for your reply... |
please post when done

Quilt as you go is the only way to go for a t shirt quilt, IMHO. I put on a sashing of flannel around each block and then finish it off as a rag quilt. They come out beautiful!
