Tee shirts or T-shirts, most of us have a collection and don't know what to do with them. So they sit on a shelf.
A customer gave me her 5 year old grandson's old tee shirts, and I decided to try my first tee shirt quilt. It was fun and easy!
I cut the tee shirts out and fused interfacing to the back of the squares. I bordered them with red or white, then put blue sashing. It was quite large, almost queen size. Did lots of machine quilting, and there it is!
The customer I made it for was thrilled, and can't wait to give it to her grandson.
I also made 2 purses for her out of left-over tee shirt fabric. Again, used fusible interfacing to keep it from stretching, and I braided strips of fabric for the straps.
This is a very popular type of quilt, hope I get to make some more!
I love to try new ideas and techniques!
