Here are the two quilts that I made and (mostly) finished for Christmas this year!
The T-shirt quilt needs to have one binding unsewn and redone and then needs tying, but as I was giving to my DH, I was able to let it slide. The other, Wacky Winter Fences, was for my SIL....

Your quilts are darling!! :thumbup: What a great job you have done putting them together. I am sure they will be very much appreciated!! Thank you for sharing.
:D :D :D :D |
Love the tee shirt quilt. Did you do patchwork and then applique the t's on? Also, did you use a stabilizer?
That really came out great! My wonderful son asked me to make him one, and I'm really hesitant to start because I don't know how to do it. |
Nice quilts. Those T-shirts are really something!
Thanks for sharing the back. My DH had to come see what I was laughing so hard at. He's happy to have company as a quilt-holder. |
Thanks!
You know, I read all different directions and looked at all different pictures, then I simply went to town. I cut out the fronts, then stabilized with woven fusible stabilizer, and then trimmed them into nice rectangles. The pieces of Tshirt were all so varied in width, so I laid them out on the floor, in columns, till I got a pleasant design. Making all left edges align, I found the largest width block, and then chose a cotton novelty print to 'fill in' the width of the narrower blocks (note the flames, or batman) After that, it was a simple assembly by column and then all columns together to make the whole! Not daunting at all, once I thought it through... |
I love the wacky winter fences. Gives me lots of ideas.

Thank you, Laceygreen. I think I'm almost ready to try.

It was an act of desperation. I realized I needed a quilt for Christmas, to keep family harmony (last year I drew my other SIL's name and gave her a quilt that was almost finished already) I literally didn't even IRON the fabrics first. I just unfolded to two layers and sliced, somewhere between 1.5 and 4 inch pieces off, not even making the slices even from top to bottom. Then I pieced them, cut into 8.5 inch squares and assembled. (I DID Iron at some point, lol) |
This is interesting quilts esp the t shirt one.
