T-shirt Quilts


T-shirt quilts are so popular and I quilt a lot of t-shirt quilts for other quilters. This first t-shirt quilt was pieced by Sherri for her daughter. As her daughter got older, the t-shirt blocks grew bigger. All the small blocks are in the first row and the blocks are bigger towards the last rows.


We both decided on the panto Curlz in a brownish pink colored thread for her daughter's t-shirt quilt.


Green and pink batik border.


Pink batik backing.


Sherri made the next t-shirt quilt for one of her sons.


This t-shirt quilt got a green batik border.

Green scrappy batik backing.


I have quilted another t-shirt quilt with a blue batik border and backing for her other son, but lost the pictures. She added these cute stuffed animals on the children's quilts.

Now this t-shirt quilt was pieced by Margie for one of her church friends. She used her friend's church t-shirts and turned it into a beautiful quilt top with a white border.


Deb's Swirls panto is the panto I used most of the time on t-shirt quilts. This panto always quilts out so beautifully on the t-shirt sticky, printed pictures.


Blue backing with doves.


Happy Quilting!
