Allison's T-shirt Quilt

This Quilt was a Big'N!  

I don't often make Quilts this large. . . . simply because it just takes SOO long to make a bed-sized quilt.

   But on the rare chances that I DO get the opportunity to go. . . BIG. . .  they always turn out ......Amazing.   

  Thanks to Allison, and her mom, Mary Beth, for a super fun and inspirational project.  

And Congratulations to the new Graduate!  

I had to put this quilt sideways on my fence to get a full photo!  

 Here I am starting the project -  Just in the beginning stages -  T-shirt quilts are like a puzzle.  

 Finally I have everything situated and fitting together snugly -  ahhh. . it makes my little OCD heart go pitter patter!  ;c) 

 The first photo of the completed flimsy *quilt top! 

 Here I am trying to take some photos of the BACK of the quilt - and we have some visiting ORBS

 love all the cool orbs in these photos. . .   Yes I cleaned my lens afterwards ;c) 

 And here is our completed quilt  - front views.  

 I just love the way this turned out.    It is always so lovely to meet new people and get a glimpse into their lives via their T-shirts.   <3 nbsp="" p="">

 After I was finished with this one - I felt like this -  tee hee LOL

Mark's Alzheimer's Awareness T-shirt Quilt

My friends Mark and Kristen had me make a quilt out of all of Mark's Alzheimer's T-shirts.
Since most of the shirts were of similar color and shade, I cut strips of all of my purple PRINT fabrics, and used those to break up the monotony of the purple.  I think it turned out so good!

Marshall University T-Quilt

Just recently finished a T-quilt made with Marshall University T-shirts.  The owner of these T-shirts is my friend Missy, who was a MU cheerleader.   I tried something a bit different with this quilt.  Instead of using JUST the T-shirt fabrics, I added in additional green tonals and prints to break up the monotiny of the greens and whites.   However, now that it's finished, I'm not even sure it added that much!   I'll definitely try this again though - especially with Tquilts that are mostly made up of Grey/White/Black shirts.  Those can get kinda boring ;)

Another thing unique about this quilt. .. Missy gave me two hooded sweatshirts with large pockets.  I decided to leave the pockets in the quilt.  I think it's pretty cute too! 

3 GWHS Basketball Quilts

 Here's a photo of all 3 quilt tops and their corresponding graphs.  ;c) This is how I make all of my T-shirt quilts!

Tee shirt Quilt/s

Right now I'm finishing up two tee-shirt quilts. The first, for my dear sweet husband for his birthday. This man has collected so many grateful dead shirts over the years and he has definitely got his money's worth out of them. They're stained, stretched, hole-y, and FABULOUS! I have all but two "blocks" quilted on his quilt and still need to bind it . . More on his quilt later....

I put DH's quilt on hold because my dear sweet friend from high school Julie requested a tee shirt quilt made of all her husband's old shirts. They were in excellent, like-new condition. . compared to my husband's shirts. . I could barely tell they have been worn! They were in such good condition in fact, that I was able to use the back of all the tee shirts for the backing.
The style of tee shirt quilt she chose is what I refer to as a "tetris" style tee shirt quilt. Instead of the usual blocked quilt with the posibility of sashing, the main logos or screenprints of the shirts are cut-out and arranged in a haphazard fashion. If you haven't made a quilt like thsi . . it's actually interesting. It brings an element of puzzle-ish fun into the mix. I really dig it!
Here's a shot of the front and back.





If anyone would like for me to make a tee shirt quilt for you. Feel free to contact me at Krati@aol.com For a 64" x 84" quilt, or big enough to cover just the top of a queen sized bed, I charge $150.

As soon as I get this quilt of my husband's complete (should be tomorrow) I"ll be sure to share some photos.

Okay Okay, better late than never. ;c) Here's the photos of the front and back of my husband's grateful dead tee-shirt quilt. I quilted it with big loop-d-loops with my free-motion foot. The back is just some colorful "trippy" fabrics that were in my stash. I also tied the corners with some thick variegrated yarn.
