Here is a picture of a harley T-shirt quilt I finished about a month ago. It is a 50th B-day present for my riding bro. He supplied the shirts so knows about it. They are doing a house remodel right now so it is staying with me until that is done. Needs to be washed yet anyway and it is too big to wash in my home machine, got to get to the laundromat.

Great quilt. I did one for friends who ride, but couldn't find "Harley" fabric! So I kind of made it up! LOL

Very nice! My dad would love it for sure. Are the cornerstones the logos from the front of the shirts?

That is a cool quilt. I bet he loves it. Great job.

I absolutely love it!!
I want to make one for my son. He gave me already 20 t-shirts and I was wondering if you can let me know how you worked with them. Did you put a stabilizer on the back of the t-shirts ? I haven't touch it yet because every time i try to work with anything other than cotton, my machine pulls it ,or rips it....well I can't really blame it on the machine :-). Anyways....I really like your design!! It looks great!!

What a good eye you have! Yes the cornerstones are the smaller breast logos common on the pocket T's and HOG rally shirts. Some I cut straight on and some are on point so the logo reads diagonally. I also had a bunch of kids T's from the dealership in Sturgis that had elements in the imprint that were just the right size for some cornerstones so I fussy cut those. Then a few are blue jeans and left over plain T-shirt that I stabalized. This is the 6th one of these I have made and have it down to a real easy process. The top usually goes together for me in a couple of weeks of working on it a couple of hours in the evening and maybe a couple of weekend mega sews.

This type of quilt is on my to-do list. But I still haven't the courage to cut my Harley shirts.

Polliwog 05-07-2016 05:59 PM

Great job! I love the layout - looks like a picture frame around focus blocks.
