How do you make a tshirt quilt for beginners. Be liberal with your basting pins and/or spray. For my quilt, i would have five rows, with four shirts in each row. Now sew the first two strips together.

You should end up with a somewhat rectangular panel. Feel free to try other shapes for your panels. Picking the tee shirts for the quilt 6:12.

For the 1 border that goes around the shirts, you will be cutting long strips of fabric, and short strips of fabric. Take the smallest shirt and see how big it is. 14 inches in width and height is ideal.

(if one side has many loose fluffs that would be what i call the wrong side.) Skipped stitches also might sneak in there. Prepare an 18 foundation fabric square by prewashing, starching, and pressing to create a firm, slightly stiff base for the block.

Also, cut below the neck banding, and remove any hemmed area along the bottom of the shirt. Sewing the binding strips after cutting your strips, sew them into one long, continuous strip per side. Knits stretch easily, so avoid distortion by taking the time to baste correctly.

Sew your stabilized shirts together into rows, stitching each piece into place with the right sides together and pressing each row after sewing. Starting from about 1/4 inch from the top, sew along the edge with a 1/2 inch seam allowance ending from about 1/4 inch from the bottom. Starting with the long sides, pin the border to the edge of the quilt leaving at least 3 inches extra on each end.

Make sure you are sewing through all the layers and not just the interfacing. Remember to use the reverse stitch at the beginning and end. When she brought the shirts to me, there were 31 of them ranging in sizes he wore when he was six years.

(you'll trim it later.) cut off the sleeves and connecting seams. Do a quick once over and run another stitch over the seam if needed. When you purchase fabric to make a quilt and do something wrong, you can buy some more fabric and try again.

In part 2, well discuss other options and creative touches. If something melts to your iron, let it cool and apply iron off. Find your big, flat, open area of floor again and roll out your batting.

Now, we're ready to quilt! Describing the project and pattern used 5:28. Depending on the type of batting you purchased there might be a right and wrong side.

Make sure that you align the top and bottom designs so they match at the edges. I had to get it right the first time. If you have a shirt that is considerably smaller than 12 inches, you can take fabric from the back and add panels to the sides and top and bottom to make it larger.

Pin the strips with right sides facing and keep the seams open as you attach. Check your seams after you have sewn the block. Stitch your completed rows together to complete your quilt front.

So, for example, if you had a quilt that was 60 inches by 80 inches, you would have a total of 300 inches (60+60+80+80+20) assuming you added five inches per side. You need at least 12 inches square to make a good sized quilt square.
