Speaking
of T-Shirt Quilts, over the years Bobbie and I have quilted a bunch of T-shirt
quilts. They are fun to quilt because they are each so unique. The first was a
collection of drawings from each year of a young man's life and his sport
T-Shirts in honor of his college graduation.
I quilted environmental-themed
quotes in the empty spaces.
Bobbie quilted a T-Shirt quilt that still hangs at
McMinnville High School.
Other quilts have included teams, cars and even
Highland games. At first I thought they would be hard to quilt, remembering the
old days of stitching on polyester double knits, but not so. It turns out that
when the T-Shirts are properly mounted on lightweight, fusible fabric that they
are easy to quilt. We commonly use polyester batting to keep the weight down.
#T-Shirt Quilts make great memory quilts and are so cuddly!
