I quilted this t-shirt quilt for a friend, mpatterson, here on Cute. Midge is a great piecer which makes quilting her quilts a pleasure. This t-shirt quilt is made from her granson's t-shirts and is a graduation gift for him. He is graduating from high school this year and will take this quilt to college.

Thank you so much!
what size are your blocks.
How did you manage the stretch on the blocks.
Thanks

You know, I've already mailed the quilt back to her but they were large blocks. She uses fusible interfacing to stabilize the knits, then cuts them to the size she needs and sews.

This is a great idea - do you know how she coped with the fabric being stretchy?
2 comments
Yes, she uses fusible interfacing. Like you would use on the facing of a jacket or in a collar. This stabilizes the knits and makes them suitable for sewing. I also use the fusible when making quilts from clothes.
Thanks for the tip!

Great idea!!! I am not sure how she was able to get him to give them up. Most boys wear them until they are rags.

You're so right. I wish I had done it with my son's t-shirts but didn't know about t-shirt quilts back then. And, like you say, most of his were worn out.
Thank you
Thank you

That's a very nice t-shirt quilt, I'm sure her grandson will love it. Did you hand quilt it? Nice job!!!!!!

Oh my goodness, no. Not a hand quilter. I don't think even a good hand quilter would want to quilt through that. hehehe
Thank you for your kind remarks.
