If you collect T-shirts like I do, then you’ll need to make room in your closet for more… What do you do with the old ones?? Turn them into a quilt, of course!
Supplies:
– 24 cotton t-shirts (this was for a 4 x 6 square quilt for a twin-size bed). You may want extras so that you can decide to leave some out at the end if they don’t fit your color scheme.
– fabric scraps galore (these should be strips of fabric, up to 14″ in length, in widths from 1-4″)
– large piece of fabric for backing (2 yards (72″) by 3 yards (108″) gave me enough extra to make a border for the front as well)
– rotary cutter, cutting mat, long plexi-glass ruler, and scissors
– sewing machine, pins, and thread
– iron and fusible interfacing
– heavy-weight batting
– 3 skeins of embroidery thread in a neutral tone and an embroidery needle
