Tee-shirt Quilt

I’d never made a tee-shirt quilt before, but our granddaughter was about to graduate from high school, where she had been on the dance team — a dance team that won a national championship two years in a row! When our son-in-law mentioned that there was a “collection” of tee-shirts from the dance activities, we decided that a quilt was the only logical answer. I started with twelve shirts and added two more to the back later as they became available. I free-motion quilted it with a different design in each block, since each block was different. The hardest part was pin basting it so that the two blocks on the back were at least mostly aligned with the two center blocks on the front! The quilt measures about 47″ x 61″.

Quilt made up of twelve blocks, each from a different tee shirt. Ten of the blocks are black or navy, while the two central blocks are white. The blocks are separated with gold sashing, and the piping is navy.Back of the tee shirt quilt. Most of the back is a blue/white print, and there are two tee shirt blocks in the center.
