-   -   $1100. T-Shirt quilt. (https://www.quiltingboard.com/pictures-f5/%241100-t-shirt-quilt-t199439.html)

Nice work and it turned out beautiful. I've researched making t-shirt quilts and ones I found online charge a minimum of $300. There's nothing quilted other than SITD to hold the shirt squares in place.

I'm glad I read further into the posts to discover you will be paid $1100 for it. It's totally worth that price. People who appreciate the value of something handcrafted are wonderful customers.

I had a lady contact me from another state (saw my work at a local craft show) and paid me $200 plus shipping to make a small memory quilt of her mom's clothing. She wanted to give it to the great-grand-daughter. Nothing fancy in quilting and it was around 45 x 60. It's nice to be appreciated for your talent.

Super job. Love the colors and all the detail. You did a great job and they'll have a quilt to treasure forever.

Narda you have bragging rights when something turns out so terrific! I have never seen a t-shirt quilt that came out so well executed before!

Ohhhhh GOOD! That finished the math equation and makes much more sense for all the work you put into that. I find the hardest part of a tee quilt is figuring out what to do with all the odd sizes. You do beautiful work.

This is a great looking quilt.
What book did you buy to help you learn how to do it?

Wow, that's a cool quilt.

She is super excited about the turn out and so am I! I hope this doesn't come across as bragging , I just wanted to share with you all.
Narda, that is gorgeous! Are the small sashing squares pieced, or is that a cheater fabric? Either way, it's a wonderful quilt

Beautiful quilt. One of the best t-shirt quilts I've ever seen. So nice to hear that someone values all the work that goes into one of these enough to pay a fair price.
