Gallery ~ T-shirt Quilts

Here's a T-shirt quilt we made for a car-buff using all (okay, most of...) his t-shirts from all the car shows he's been to or been in. His drawers were bursting at the hinges with all the shirts he owns when his wife came calling for me to make him a quilt with them. We backed it with a warm flannel as it still does get cool in the evenings and we want him to stay warm with all car shows he has coming up! By the way, we chose green as the sashing and border because that is the color of his beloved Fargo - we all agreed his quilt needed to match his car!

A lady came to me with an abundance of T-shirts and asked me to make them into a quilt. She had so many, in fact, that I also made a duvet cover for her out of the rest of them!

This is a second Triathlon T-Shirt quilt we made for a wonderful repeat client of ours. You can probably guess in how great shape they are just form looking at the shirts we used - Ha! Ha! This quilt is pretty large (about a queen size) measuring 65" x 86". We used a red/black marbled fabric for the border and backing and did some decorative stitching using heavy black thread.

This person had so many T-Shirts from all the different Triathlons they had been in, and traveled across the country for, that their closet was, I'm sure, bursting at the seams! We took 31 of those T-Shirts and made them into a queen size quilt (66" x 90") for our customer to cherish. Now they can relive those fond memories on a daily basis, and they have more closet space - Ha! Ha!

Who wouldn't want a comfy a T-shirt quilt to cuddle up in?! This one is made up from all kinds of T-shirts to do with the recipients basketball and running career. This quilt is so soft and comfy - the perfect throw for over a couch, to lie on the floor with, or to pack with you on a picnic!
