Two Commissioned T-shirt Quilts
Was asked by a friend to make t-shirt quilts for her two kids from their grandpa's t-shirts. Each took about a month although if I'd worked at them more consistently it would have been faster.
I find that the hardest thing about t-shirt quilts is arranging the shirts themselves. So I added the challenge of using the shirt backs as the backing for the quilt - will not do that again as it was very hard to keep from stretching even though I'd using interfacing there as well. Perhaps with a stiffer interfacing for the back..... It did feel like velvet....
Each one reflects the bond they had with their grandpa.
