How to make a T-shirt Quilt {Part 2}

January 30, 2017 By Jamie Dorobek 5 Comments

I learned a lot in the how to make a t-shirt quilt part 2 hang out on air! For instance, did you know there was a product called color catchers? They look like dryer sheets, and you can throw as may as you want into a load of laundry and the sheet will catch all of the color. How had I never heard of these things? Complete genius for someone like me who doesn’t separate laundry or someone who wants to make a t-shirt quilt!

I’m clearly the novice quilter of the 3 of us, ha! (If you’re new here, here is how to make a t-shirt quilt part 1.) Here is the 30-ish minute Google Hangout all about how to piece the t-shirt squares, sewing fabric around the t-shirs (if necessary), sewing the squares together, and making the backing.

And now for an update on my t-shirt quilt… I left of with all of my squares cut and interfaced. Now it as time to decide how it was going to get together. I ended up deciding to make 4 rows of t-shirts with 3 small rows of fun fabric in between each layer. After all of the t-shirt were interfaced, I played with arrangements and started sewing them into lines. Not gonna lie, my lines were a mess since I had not pre measured and made everything square. Which is why, after the t-shirts were sewn together I borrowed a friends rotary cutter and straightened the lines. I ended up having to waste a little fabric, but I’m ok with that. (It’s not like it was fancy fabric… they were Good Will bound t-shirts!)

So, one big change I’ve made so far is taking out the 3 mens dress shirt squares. My mom hated them and insisted that I take them out! I guess it does look better… what do you think?
How to make a t-shirt quiltAt this moment, my t-shirt quilt is in 7 rows. I need to sew the rows together, make a baking, and quilt this bad boy! Has anyone started a t-shirt quilt? What’s your progress?
