I'm making a t-shirt quilt for my daughter. I have already cut all the shirts and the problem i'm running into is that some of her shirts were very small in the width and others were larger. I cut all the shirts (width) as large as possible and left the length on all of them.
The smallest is 13 inches, the largest is 16. Each shirt has at least 1/2 inch on each side (pattern to pattern). I plan on using sashing in between the rows, but for some reason I can't wrap my brain around this.
Am I doing this right?
Anyone???
This problem is like the one you have when you are using fabric that has animals, scenes, etc, of different sizes and you cut them apart. When you have that, you add what are called coping strips to equalize the sizes of the blocks. Be sure to stabilize your t-shirt pieces and then add a strip of fabric that will coordinate with the t-shirt (blue for blue lettering for example) that will make the small pieces as big you want them. When you get all that done, sash all the blocks. froggyintexas
