T-shirt Quilt

My nephew had boxes of T-shirts... He wanted a T-shirt quilt made with them.....

I put my sister and nephew to work...cutting the T-shirt apart!!!

Then my work began... I cut the squares...

Then ironed the squares on interfacing... (no I did not iron on my cutting board:)

 Then cut the t-shirts from the interfacing...and gave each square another press...

Now the fun begins.... I started laying it out....

Okay!!! There were lots of T-shirt's with bigger Logo's than I had figured on...and I have a huge quilt ...not enough floor space to lay it out...

By the end of the day.... I think I'm ready to sew.... We'll see how it goes together!!

T-Shirt Quilt...

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.

And here is it the finished T-shirt Quilt finished
