Thanks for the link, my old coot was in the Navy and we traveled alot and have many t-shirts. He wants a quilt made out of them and I was not sure how to go about it.

I would practice cutting and actually sewing blocks together before I started on the shirts, they are irreplaceable.

See if you can find one of Bonnie Hunter's books, preferably the first one. Shirts and clothing are her "thing". She goes to thrift stores and gets shirts and clothes for quilts. I think you'll be pleased. Good Luck!!

I, too, am sorry for your families loss. I can not think of a more soothing and worth while gift than making a memory quilt. Welcome to this family from middle Tennessee.

Hello and welcome from Boston, Ma. If the t-shirts are 100% cotton then you won't have any problems. Just pick a pattern.

Hello and welcome from Enterprise, AL (just up the road a piece).

I recently made 3 for a coworker who lost her husband and she gave me t-shirts and cotton/silk hawaiian shirts. One great tip-stabilize all fabrics and t-shirts with fusible interfacing. I did not know that woven silk would stretch, but I found out the hard way. Stabilize the t-shirst before cutting to keep the fabric from curling. They were crazy quilts with picture transfers. If it had of been only t-shirts, I could have squared up better and made more uniform. Hope this helps! To see pics, go to Pictures, My labor of love on January 6, 2011.
