I got some CUTE fabric at Wal*Mart for a dollar a yard. I bought extra ‘cuz I know it shrinks a LOT. It has little hearts all over it.
I am going to use it for the back of the quilt, but I decided to separate the t-shirt fronts with thin strips of it, too. I will machine quilt the whole thing and then put yarn ties in the little squares where the strips cross each other.
It is going to be so cool! Now I just have to find the rest of the shirts. I hope I didn’t toss them in the give-away some time when I was fed up with having things I might get to “someday!”
This won’t even get started for a while, but when my kids were little, I bought them t-shirts every time we went to Target with whatever the current Disney character was. We have dozens of them! I have had this quilt planned for many years, but now that I may have time to do it, it may actually get done!
I tried to make a quilt out of all my old jeans, it looked really cool. I had all the blocks done, and just had to attachh them, when my mom thought it would be nice to wash it before I sewed it together. It all frayed, I was sad.
Worth doing!
If you can sneak and grab your friends/family members old t-shirts and make them into a quilt, they’ll love it. Just make sure you don’t cut up their favorite tees that they prefer to wear than to sleep under. I made three t-shirt quilts, one for my mom and one for my brother when he went away to college, and one for myself. Boy I have a lot of time on my hands- well, actually i’m an insomniac.
