Quilting Grandma

When I make them, I use the extras to sash, make small blocks bigger and for pieced borders.
Sorry I can't post a photo, I just can't get the thing to work.

like this idea and next t-shirt quilt I'll make up some for grandboys when they paint (which all 3 love).

I've used for stuffing dog beds--pretty heavy though. also rags in the shop. And I haven't done this, but have seen t-shirt strips used on a canvas backing to make a throw rug.

I have made a few Tshirt quilts and make them qayg. On some of them l have used the back of the shirt as the backing of the block. It saves on waste and buying more material.

I put them in the rag bin.

Last night at guild meeting a lady had done a t-shirt quilt and used all the leftovers in a piano key border and it was really nice.

I used some to stuff a homemade taylor's ham and sausage. I didn't want the expense of "real" filling.

I'm using one right now as a damp press cloth to attach fusible interfacing. I hate to use good fabric for that.

I like the idea of using the plain parts for backing. Tshirting is so soft and cuddly.
I also save the backs and use them to make kids shorts for pjs bottoms. Keep 'em here for the grandkids. You can also use the backs and sleeves and make more tshirts for the little ones. Free fabric.
I've also toyed with the idea to make tied comforters for donation to homeless shelters.

I sewed the larger pieces together and made dog blanket-quilts for our animal shelter. I used the quilts for practice on my longarm and then donated them to the shelter. The smaller scraps I put in the rag bag for dusting and when hubby needs rags for his shop.

Contact a woodworker. My father is one and he had me cut the fabric into 2" strips and he loves them. he uses the pieces to apply oil or wax or whatever to his pieces while turning them on the lathe. There is probably a woodworking club near you, search the web for one. If you're lucky, the recipient may say thank you with a gift they made.

That is what I am doing for my GD Sarah, for her graduation this June. Much easier than the others I have made.
