T-Shirt Quilt

A friend from work asked me if I could make a T-shirt quilt for her from her son's baseball shirts. I decide that I would try it as a quilt-as-you-go by quilting the rows.

After prepping the shirts, I spent some time arranging the shirts for the front of the quilt.

I then prepared the back design for the rows.

I added sashing between the blocks.

I just did straight row quilting on the sandwich back, batting, and front.

To do the quilting, I measured and taped off the distance between the quilted stitching, about 3".

I then pinned and stitched the back sashing and front sashing onto the rows.

I finished off the top sashing with just a straight stitch very close to the edge of the sashing strip.

Once all assembled, I finished off the quilt with the binding, which I just straight stitched finished.
