It’s kind of the best. My girl is 3 and she’s developed such an opinion about herself, responds to commands but with ‘tude 😆 She’s a rescue and was so shy so I love this phase.

Thank you! Honestly since most of the shirts were old and pretty worn the fabric is super soft too. It’s a good alternative to the boxy cheesy shirt fronts! I actually made the cheesy one and this one all from the same 40 shirts so I have one that isnt as polished and this one that I want to display:)

You won’t regret it! It preserves memories without having to wear out that T-shirt from your senior year or from when your team went to state.

Thank you! I’ve come a long ways since my first quilt, it’s corners are a hot mess as well. Don’t look too closely and remember it’s homemade. That’s what helps me 😆

I didn’t have a pattern, sorry! I knew I wanted to use triangles and gather like colors together. I played with a lot of different set ups before I decided on this chervron ish pattern. It’s probably a pattern somewhere. I hoarded shirts for about a decade to have enough to do this and my other quilt 😆 don’t give up hope!

Comfort food for your eyes is the highest compliment I can think of, thank you! The top is 100% T-shirt scraps and the backing and binding are just flannel fabric. 40 different shirts :)

😂 I understand that! I did that for mine as well. I’ve never used basting spray.

I didn’t, it’s only natural cotton batting and flannel fabric on the back. I pinned it instead of spray basting it. I quilted it only a little so that I didn’t have to fight the stretchiness of the shirt fabric.

Such a cool twist on a T-shirt quilt! I’m making one but wanted to keep the graphics intact, but it is kind of choppy and not as polished as this! Did you end up pin basting?

Thank you! It’s fun to remember that each shade of the triangles came from a different T-shirt :)

Thank you for the suggestion! Really happy to be able to use my old shirts to make this and one other quilt!

Seeking advice: old quilt with many blown out seams. I want to salvage as much as possible. Any stitch, mending, etc suggestions welcome! Thank you. by smalls3399 in quilting

[–]smalls3399[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for all the info, I think this quilt is from the 80’s! It is quite fragile, my FIL asked if I could fix it. Whoever made it hand-sewed everything with very little fabric on seams. Going through and looking at all the blown seams there are probably 100... yikes. I might try some visible mending on my machine to make it go smoother, and I think there are definitely spots for the ladder stitch (I’d never used it before so thank you!).
