I have a lot of my mother's t-shirts. She was a marathon runner and got a tee shirt every time she ran in race. Anyway, I have been planning to make t-shirt quilts for my sisters and your way seems a bit easier than using interfacing. My question is what do you use for the sashing? The red one is a marble from Benartex. Judy |
Oh man, Santa Cruz... I am so nastalgic....
I lived in Chimaketa Park for some time when I was a younger girl. Do you know where that is? Just off the highway between Los Gatos and Santa Cruz, up in the redwoods... I have a quilting friend that lives on the other side of the highway from Chimaketa...was just there for a visit a while ago. I looooove Santa Cruz. Lucky you.. Judy |
Judy: Thanks for your time and excellent instructions. This sounds like a method I have been wanting to try with one of my larger quilt projects and just hadn't thought of all the steps, so this helps clarify the process. My fear about this is to keep the rows straight - your quilt looks very straight and even - I love it.. Thanks, again for sharing!!

I used my long ruler to measure 2 inches in from the edge of the backing fabric to the edge of my row.. keeps it even all the way down.. pin it so you can adjust if needed...

Judy Let me know if you are out this way again. I'll take you around to the local quilt stores. |
I'm so glad you were able to salvage some of her shirts.
