T-shirt quilts

I always have a lot of fun making t-shirt quilts. T-shirt quilts are very popular, especially this time of the year when students are going to college. Each t-shirt quilt has its own personality.

This is a t-shirt quilt I made for Nijia.

We decided on a small teal border followed by a black and teal patchwork print for the outside border, binding and backing. I used a heart and swirl quilting pattern in teal colored thread.

Rhonda's t-shirt quilt was quilted with swirls and it is my favorite pattern for t-shirt quilts.

Sally's t-shirt quilt was quilted with the same swirl pattern called "Deb's Swirls".

Pieced backing.

This is a very heavy t-shirt quilt which I quilted with a stipple.

 Grey border with music  print for the outside border.

 This is why the quilt is very heavy and so durable, the backing is a heavy weight denim fabric.

Hope you all will have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by,

Finished Circle Quilt and more quilting and organizing

 I've been busy, done a lot of quilting and made a huge mess in my quilting room. I have a finished quilt. The Circle quilt is all done,  washed and crinkled up.

 Scrappy backing.

 I  have been quilting  beautiful quilt tops and would like to share them. Here's Barbara's Music quilt.

Border with music instruments.

 Music note backing.

 I've quilted two T-shirt quilts. This is Sheri's quilt.

 Green and orange borders.

 Yellow polka dot backing.

 Kathy's T-shirt quilt.

 Scrappy backing.

 I've also quilted two sampler quilts. Pat's yellow and blue sampler.

 

 White and blue borders.

 Blue backing.

 Glenda's sampler.

 Glenda's baby quilt with printed animals.

 Solid yellow backing.

 I finished the quilting on my Hugs and Kisses quilt.

 The center teal block is my favorite block.

 Now with all the quilting and sewing I did, my quilting room became very messy. I'm going to spend the next few days cleaning my sewing table and organizing my stash.

 Fabric sorted in groups, I like to organize my stash by color.

 The first bin I tackled was the blue one - my favorite color.

 This looks so much better. The smaller pieces on the carpet need to be cut into 5" and 2.5" strips. I like to have at least one cutting day per month.

Happy quilting,

Millie

T-shirt Quilts and Bags

 I've been working on so many t-shirt quilts and tops for bags. This is the Sander's quilt I made. I've used the leftover t-shirt logos and put them in the border. This is around a queen sized quilt.

 This is a king sized t-shirt quilt I made for Wendy. I did the same thing and used some of the smaller logos in the border.

 Many of the t-shirts were hand decorated by her and her two boys like this Surf's Up t-shirt.

 Here's another t-shirt quilt I quilted with painted white t-shirts. This quilt was a team effort made by many of  the teachers and personnel of a school for a retiring principal.

 I quilted this quilt for Kayla.

 The last few t-shirt quilts I quilted are from Marjie. This is her son's quilt.

These are t-shirts I quilted for Marjie who so cleverly made them into a duffel bag! 

 Here's some more tops she will transform into bags.

 I really like the color scheme of this soon to be bag.

 Happy Quilting,
