T-Shirt Comfort Quilt Opinions
One of my dearest friends lost her adult son several months ago. I promised to make her a t-shirt comfort quilt, but have a question.
She is asking for a queen sized quilt to put on the empty bed he slept in that is in the guest room. I thought that sounded so big and lonely, that I suggested making several smaller quilts to wrap up in during the evenings. (Maybe 45" x 72"?) Have any of you made t-shirt comfort quilts, and what are your opinions on doing several smaller ones vs one large quilt? Do people use comfort quilts on their own beds? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I made a tee shirt quilt for my niece using shirts from her high school years -- she had MANY! IMHO it was too large and too heavy to be used as a comfort quilt. She uses it as a bedspread. I was sorry I had not made more than one afghan-sized quilts instead. It was too large for me to do the quilting on my DMS so I had to have it done by a long arm quilter. If she wants it only as a show piece for his bed, a large quilt would work.
