T-Shirt Quilts
|
Tee
shirt quilts are an excellent method of preserving all your
memories in one cozy quilt. They can be used as a throw, wall
hanging or bed quilt. The quilt is a great graduation gift or a
way to memorialize all the marathons run, concerts attended or
favorite sports teams.
The
size and design of each quilt depends on your specific tee
collection and size requirements. The question of “how many do I
need?” is best answered by “how many do you have and what size
would you like?”. Construction is best with 100% cotton as
lattice to frame each block and stabilize the “knit” of the
tee. A quilt without lattice is best used as a decorative accent,
i.e. a wall hanging.

While
I believe that a T-Shirt Quilt benefits structurally from
lattice between the blocks, a layout for a wall hanging or
minimal usage quilt can be designed. |

Combination
Blocks

Sometimes
all you have is a small “chest” logo or you have so many
tee’s that the best way to use all your favorites is to create
combination (combo) blocks. There are many ways to combine the
motifs of individual tee’s into one block. Here are some
examples:

go along with quilts and throws.
