    I'm with you.

    I'm known for making quilts for people who mean something in my life.
    I made one last week for a close coworker who is struggling with the issue of placing her Mom in a nursing home.
    I guess I see a quilt like being the 'Chicken soup for the soul'

    also.

    chances are on Sunday afternoon you'll find me in my sewing room working on something, even if it's just trying a new technique on a scrap..............TV sucks.


    And no, my quilts are far from perfect, there's no way I would enter one in a show, so it's not like they are precious works of art.

    My teen granddaughter asked me to make her a tee shirt quilt. I said sure baby, wash, iron, and hang each one on a hanger all your tee shirts you want in it and then bring them to me. It's been over a year I haven't gotten the tee shirts yet. She thought she'd bring them all over in one big bag pulled from the closet floor and stuffed drawers.

    I have a fellow quilter who made a T-shirt for a man and his wife. The three of them went shopping, she had researched what supplies would be required. They paid for everything, including lunch. They settled on $500 to make the quilt. The finished quilt cost them around $1,300. It was a king-size quilt.

    Has anyone here used this project repat?

    I have seen them and wondered how they turn out

    It doesn't appear that this batting - correct?

    Also I wondered to the quilt the layers together? Or are the top and bottom just sewn closed around all 4 sides?

    Looks like the shirts are just cut in big squares, sewn together, and backed with fleece.

    However, you have given the person an alternative, and she can go with that or look further.

    Hi,
    I’m pretty new as well, but thought I would weigh in on this one. My mother in-law made a beautiful T-shirt quilt for my husband many years ago for his 40th birthday. She’s an experienced quilter and she said after she made it she would never attempt it again. In her words “much harder then it seemed”. But she did a great job.
