~Welcome~
So glad that you stopped by.
The Traditional T-Shirt Quilt
is made by cutting each shirt to the same size and adding fabric sashing between
the t-shirts. Traditional style t-shirt quilts may be made with or without
sashing. If you base your block size by the largest t-shirt logo you will be
able to get the majority of the logo within each block. You may choose many
quilt sizes based on the number of shirts you wish to use. Both the fronts and
the backs of the shirts can be used, if logos are on both sides. I like to use
the largest logo on the shirts to determine my block size.

NOTE: Sashing
is the fabric that separates the blocks, framing them and making the quilt
larger.
NOTE: Border
A strip of fabric or pieced strip of fabric joined to the edges of the inner
quilt and used to frame it. This quilt has multiple borders, narrow black,
narrow red and wider black border. (look at left side of quilt to see multiple
border)

This traditional style t-shirt quilt has no sashing
between the t-shirt blocks and one black border.
The Variable T-Shirt Quilt is made by varying the
size of the squares made from the shirts. This gives you the opportunity to use
shirts with small logos and patches. The variable t-shirt quilt may be made with
or without sashing.
This type of quilt allows you to incorporate a larger number of shirts.

A Patchwork style t-shirt quilt uses smaller logos
and/or fabrics to make pieced blocks to alternate with the t-shirt blocks and
can also be used in the borders of the quilt.
