Commissioned tshirt quilt all but finished!!!!


Cant wait to post it away.

So what did I learn in making a tshirt quilt?  Well you CAN use tshirts really easily if you frame them with 100% cotton fabric.  Quilting them was made easier by having them joined in columns.  No quilting is required after the columns are joined... just as well... this quilt easily covers a queen size bed.  Sewing oversized frame borders and then bringing them through to the back when joining.... made it all so easy.  Hours heming the binding but that's ok.

I didnt make any money on this quilt but I have learned heaps and I really love the way the tshirt logos stand out.  I hope the customer loves it too.
