Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Free Motion Fillers, Vol. 1 »

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Unisex

Style: Casual


Materials

T shirts and a couple of other shirts full of memories, backing material, sashing material, binding material, isacord thread, Pellon featherweight interfacing

What was your inspiration?

What to do with shirts that are just sitting in drawers or hanging in the closet that hold so many happy memories...

What are you most proud of?

Since I'm just a beginner in this quilting scene, I'm most proud of the FMQ designs I learned here.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

For me, Leah Day was the easiest instructor to follow here and I learned a lot of great filler designs that really made my quilt look good.

What a wonderful idea! My daughter absolutely love your quilt and wants me to make one for her with her favorite t-shirts when they are small for her. Thanks for the idea. It's the first time she really appreciates a patchwork quilt

What a great way to preserve the memories of each shirt and practice quilting at the same time!

Very nice....t-shirts can be a pain to work with.....did you put interfacing on the back of each one?

Hi, yes I did---the featherweight 906F on the first quilt and when I couldn't find more of that one, I used the 911F which is thicker but worked just as well.
