hello Monday!
so…awhile back I shared about this new t-shirt quilt project…
if you remember, my nephew divided his t-shirts into themes…
so I came up with the idea that each theme should have a different color border…
I think these colors look yummy together…
so here is one of the themes…
I like to leave about an inch around the outside of the t-shirts…
I also use fusible interfacing to stabilize the designs…
one theme done….six more to go!
and the giveaway for today…
spy something fun??
leave me a comment to enter…
I will announce a winner on Friday…
Happy Sewing!
I like the white and grey dots. Happy sewing
so fun. have fun sewing. I love that the different themes are bordered by different colors. this should be a wonderful quilt
I agree, I think those colors compliment each other nicely. Can’t wait to see what this ends up looking like!
I see some pretty spring colours!!!
It will be interesting to see the results. I like the idea of likes bordered the same.
I love watching these t-shirt quilts come together.
The t-shirt quilt should be very interesting when done. I made one a few years ago and used iron on interfacing to back them so they didn’t stretch. Love the coral fabric. Would go great in a project I have going right now.
I see allot of pretty dots.
The quilt is coming along beautifully. I have been saving my son’s t-shirts. Looks like the quilts with tees are fun to make!
I spy some blue fabric in the pile.
I really like the way you are approaching this t-shirt quilt. I am very interested because I was asked to make one for my niece. I have never made a t-shirt quilt so this is a perfect project for me to follow along with. Thanks for the opportunity to enter the giveaway.
Great idea to group the shirts so the quilt doesn’t look all jumbled up. As for the scraps — lots of dots, that’s always fun!
Your nephew is a lucky guy to have you making him a tshirt quilt. My 5 boys would each love me to do that if only I could finish all the other projects and quilts that i’ve started for them! I can’t wait to see how it looks. I think so many tshirt quilts look disorganized to me. I’m sure their comfy and loved no matter what, but I crave a little more order for so many different slogans and such. I love scraps…i live for scraps and by the way, dots are kind of my obsession!
Look forward to seeing your latest t-shirt quilt! Fun scraps!
I really like your idea of a color for each theme that he designated. Brilliant!
The gray dots definitely caught my eye.
what a great project!
