A few years back I had heard about the T-Shirt Quilt....
I thought they would make nice keepsakes.
My grandma had made me a quilt out of scraps of clothing.... when my granddaughter saw it and I told her about the different cloths and what they use to be...she asked if I would make her a quilt like that....
I thought the t-shirt quilt would be a great memory quilt for the boys...
I was given some 'special shirts' to make one up
I looked online to see the "how to's.... and proceeded to cut the T'shirts apart.
I ironed on a light weight interfacing to keep the knit from stretching...
We went with an informal pattern...so the squares were laid out and scraps of t-shirt were used to fill in missing holes in the quilt. Then all the pieces were sewn together.
The 'quilt' was wanted for more of a throw so a lightweight cordury backing was used without any batting.
Matching binding was sewing on.
