i've been wanting to make E a t-shirt quilt since i learned how to sew
i've been saving his shirts and we had a ton
i let him pick out his favorites
normally, i think these are sports themed
but he hasn't really played a lot of sports
so, his are just his favorites
the blocks are 12" square
stabilized and ready to assemble
(i forgot to say, I used wax paper as a temporary stabilizer, it was a lot
cheaper than heat-n-bond)
old school shirt
soccer shirt
church shirt
soccer
church again, bible school
just a favorite
his very favorite and mine too, and Pat's as well
summer camp
a favorite
a favorite
church, bible school
a favorite, cause his maw maw bought it
a favorite cause the yellow glows in the dark
back of the summer camp shirt
i'll assemble these into a 12" block and it will make the 15 block.
next is borders for each block
Fun t-shirt blocks! I have a bunch of my Father's t-shirts that I intend to make into a quilt for my Step-mother. I have the t-shirts ready to be fused and I bought the sashing fabrics. I guess I'm just waiting for the motivation and time to actually work on it.
ReplyDeleteVery neat. We never had enough tshirts survive the spaghetti sauce and grass stains to make a quilt. This will be one E will love.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this idea. LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very well rounded young man, it should make a great quilt.
ReplyDeleteGreat choices...and I'm sure you know MY favorite one!!! What is this with using waxed paper as a stablizer? I never heard of doing that.
ReplyDeleteIt scares me to think about making a tee shirt quilt. You are a very talents young lady. I know you will have no problem and I look forward to reading how you make one in your blog.
