Hello and welcome from Ontario. If you do a search about t-shirt quilts you will find many examples and help with the process.

Hello and Welcome from Northern Indiana ! Glad you joined us :lol:
"Search" will start you in the right direction :thumbup: You will start out by attaching the t-shirt to an interfacing to make it more study , so that it doesn't stretch out of shape |
welcome

I've seen them done but never done one. I know you have to use a fusible stabilizer then just cut your logos out with a square or rectangle or whatever design you want. You can use regular cotton fabric for sashing, cornerstones, border, etc. Welcome aboard, btw.

There are books out on making t-shirt quilts. Check your library or Amazon.
As others have mentioned, you need to use a fusible to stabilize the t-shirt fabric before you cut and sew. I like fusible nylon tricot for this. Some fusibles make the t-shirt fabric too stiff, so be sure to experiment before making a final decision. Usually the t-shirt logos are cut into squares or rectangles and assembled with sashing strips and borders (sashing and borders out of regular fabric). Here is a click-link to a recent thread on the board. Scroll down the page to see the t-shirt quilt; this one was assembled without sashing but with "shadows" and is very striking. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-48453-1.htm |
