Thread: T-shirt quilt done

::throws clothes around closet checking to see if there's enough tshirts for a quilt::

Look how well you got that stretchy fabric to behave! Job well done.

The trick for me to make the stretchy behave was flannel backing. It didn't move and it kind of "stuck" to the front part and framed it up. I used the whole t-shirt in making this...so the different colors are from the t-shirts themselves. I've got to make one more, so hopefully it comes out as good as this one...

Thanks guys!

It looked to me all T-shirt were Nike. But, oh my, it was tie tacked!!!LOL

Fantastic!! What a great idea for the t-shirts...

A great job!!!

That is great. I'm sure your client is going to love it.

I would like to try one with my kids' cloths when they are little.
May I ask you ome question how to make this?
Did you sandwitch the batting between flannels and the top?
Do I need to use the fusing backing for the bakcside of the quilt top? How do the seamallowance ( T-shirt edge) go, I am afraid if thy rolls up. Or spray basted???

Pleae advise!! Help me!!

If you do a search how to make a t-shirt quilt, you will get a lot of helpful info. You need to use fusible woven interfacing on the back of the shirts to keep them from stretching. The other one that I made I did not use batting in at all. Maybe there might be a possibility that someone will do a class near where you live. Also, might be a tutorial some place.
