I made a t-shirt quilt for a friend's son. It was 20 t-shirts and that turned out to be almost a queen size quilt. There were sashings, bindings and cornerstones, the t-shirt stabilizer, the batting, thread and since I didn't have a machine that FMQ'd I ended up buying a newer machine for $140. which I love! My friend bought all the fabric, thread, and the stabilizer which we ended up needing a lot more than we bought and I had the batting already. I think she spent close to $80. It was a really big quilt when it was done, and I wouldn't make another one that big again on my small machine. In return, she gave me to give to my daughter who was moving into her own rental home, a washer/dryer, a cabinet full of Disney library VCR tapes, a portable color TV w/a built in VCR player, and a 6.5' tall solid wood bookcase. All of these things she gave me were in storage and she didn't want them anymore. Everything works perfectly. I think we both got a great deal.
