At first, I considered writing a step by step instruction for the quilt. Then I stopped drinking the overambitious Kool-Aid. While I have made quilts before (ten years ago), I am NO expert. Please refer to a quilting book as I am or taking a class before starting your own project. I will be posting pictures of my progress with short explanations.
So many t-shirts! It will be Aggietastic.
Wash them all before starting your project. It will help prevent shrinkage.
Good quilting tools are an investment...or at least that is what I have been telling myself to swallow the sticker shock.
My blocks at 15x15 and therefore will end up being 14.5x14.5 when I take the seam allowances into account.
I was a little sad cutting up the shirts.
One of thirty shirt squares
Yea the squares are cut!
I think the 15x15 squares turned out fairly well. I also cut out 7.5x7.5 squares for smaller logos or for some of the t-shirt's sleeves. I cut out eight of those squares and will turn those into two blocks. Next step, iron on the fabric stabilizers so the t-shirts will be less stretchy.
Hey dont leave this nieve quilter hanging...did you finish this lol...susan
