Amy's T-shirt Quilt

I made this t-shirt quilt for Amy. She picked out 12 of her shirts and I went to work.

I usually just cut 12" blocks, but wanted a little variation this time. Just a meander with Permacore Gray thread and Hobbs 80/20 batting. She picked out the border fabric from several in my stash. She'll be picking it up soon and I hope she likes it.

Lisa's T-Shirt Quilt

Lisa made this cute t-shirt quilt at Spring Quilt camp and I'm just amazed at how she makes all those different shapes come together to a great quilt.

In Cincinnati, I purchased a couple new pantos and for this quilt I used Bauhaus Baby. I thought it was a good fit with all the squares and straight lines. I chose Sunlight PermaCore Thread and Hobbs 80/20 batting.

Love the yellow thread on the back too!

Speaking of t-shirt quilts, this week the Common Threads Quilt Guild was treated to a program on t-shirt quilts by Caryl Schuetz of Indianapolis. She gave a powerpoint presentation and showed lots of cute t-shirt quilts. We are fortunate to have such a great speaker just an hour away from us. Thanks for a great program Caryl!

Great T-shirt Quilt

I finished this quilt that Lois made last night and she picked it up today. I think it's one of the nicest t-shirt quilts I've seen and it was a joy to quilt.



I chose Square Spiral and used Hobbs 80/20 batting and PermaCore White thread.

T-shirt Quilt

Last night, I loaded this t-shirt quilt and did a couple of passes of quilting. I came home on my lunch hour and did a couple more, and I finished it this evening.

The quilting is Angel Wings, and I believe the recipient loves butterflies, so that's why this was chosen. Quilting a t-shirt quilt from the back of the machine isn't one of my favorite things to do, I have discovered. Especially one that is pieced shirt-to-shirt. If there had been sashing, it would have been much easier, I think. Some of the seams were so thick that I was sure I was going to break a needle, but I didn't, and it's done, so now I only have 2 more to finish by next weekend. Hobbs 80/20 bating and Permacore Shrimp Pink thread.



I do love the look of the quilting on the back!
