One great thing about used-clothes fabric-- it's road-tested- no surprises regarding washing/ shrinkage/ color bleeding!
One name for this block is the "Crown of Thornes" . MANY years ago the older ladies at church made a quilt for the retiring Preacher& his wife each block had Christian /Biblical names😇
Note to self - only buy my husband 100% cotton shirts 👍👍
Love this block 😍
Good note!
pro tip: watch series at flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies these days.
@Luca Khari Yea, I have been watching on Flixzone for since november myself :D
@Luca Khari yup, I've been using Flixzone for months myself :D
@Luca Khari definitely, have been using Flixzone for since november myself :D
This is a good way to clear out the goodwill of shirts that just sit and sit. Maybe we can transfer this idea to other cotton fabrics at the thrift store. Pillowcases, sheets, tablecloths.
Love your show and the music is always calming!
Really a great looking block and the bonus is free fabric!
I love this quilt soo much! Always looking for "fabric" .. I've discovered men's cotton shirts at the thrift store... Your block and method make it look so special! I love having your sewing room ON while I'm in mine! Thanks for the great tips!
Great idea!
Beth I even buy men's shirts that are new and marked way down and on clearance. Seems they always have the prettiest prints, and then of course I debate alot if I should cut them or not. Live your patterns. Thanks alot.
Hi I love your quilts you are an awesome quilter ,god bless keep safe.xx
That dark aqua with black is one my favorite color combos!
What a great idea to recycle your husband's shirts. They make a gorgeous quilting block. It will make a great quilt for a boy or any man. Fabulous!!!!!
thank you 🙂
Beautiful, love those colors!
Love that block. Thanks Beth ❤️🇦🇺
Great block, thank you 😃
Love your quilt top! The block design is a great fit with those plaids and the sashing fabric really makes it! Old-fashioned and comfy looking! I have never used plaids much, but I would definitely like to make this! Now I will have to look for some more shirts...Goodwill sale tomorrow...ha ha! Thanks for sharing...very inspiring!
Hubby and I were just talking about plaid shirts. I remember the piles of plaids at Kmart and waiting for the blue light special! Your hanging quilt is very pretty.
I remember those blue light specials as well. 🙂
I worked at Kmart when I was a senior in high school. I got to run a couple of blue light specials. "Attention Kmart shoppers..." Those were the days. I can't count how many shirts I put on hangers back then.
Looks great. I love plaids
Hi Beth, I think the block is a variation of the Rocky Mountain quilt block. Love your quilt made from shirts!
Yeah! Thank you so much!🙂
Thanks, who can tell this is finishef by used fabrics.?
I love plaids also. This is a very nice square!
Thanks Lori 🙂
and plaid flannel as well!
Cute little block.
Looks like the Rocky Mountain Puzzle block, although some variations of the block have the center square framed.
I love all of your scrap quilt ideas… and I really love the relaxing guitar background music. Does your husband play the music for you?
Music is from epidemic sound… link in description box
Thank you for a great tutorial!
Muchas gracias querida profesora!😊👌🏼
Very pretty. Now hubby gets to shop for new shirts! Haha
actually....I've been inspired by other you tube channels to de-clutter and minimize our closet! My husband took the cue and I ended up losing clothing and gaining fabric! haha! Not sure i want to de-clutter my fabric stash yet!
Good job.
Looks like a variation of the Rocky Mountain Puzzle block.
Very much like LEND AND BORROW quilt block
Absolutely love everything about this quilt and your channel. Looking through Barbara Brackmans encyclopaedia, this is block # 2179 - Double X
If it had a half square triangle in the middle I think it would be called lady in the lake.
I agree. Isn't it wonderful..
this would make a great quilt for a man cave or a teenage boy
Hello. I have cut out all of my squares and was wondering if you can comment on seem allowances. How far away from the center pencil line do you sew the two stitches when you sew the 3 inch squares together? Secondly is the standard seem allowance with quilting 1/4 inch when sewing pieces together?
All seams are 1/4”👌
Hi Beth. I struggle with getting the plaids "perfect". Is it OK if the lines are slightly off? What tips could you pass on please? Have you already done a tutorial giving tips when cutting shirts? Many thanks. I love your videos! Chin, South Africa.
When using shirts I don't worry AT ALL about where the lines are going. Happy sewing
Can shirts made from cotton blended with polyester fabric be also used?
I believe you can make a quilt from a variety of fabrics: they have their own unique qualities… but they can work.
I think it is Indian hatchet on point.
I have trouble figuring out what size blocks I need to make to go around a center block.
Yes… quilty math can be tricky.
Recently cut up stack of shirts. I have 10” squares. Can I use them to make the triangles?
Yes
Hello! Very pretty block! I have been asked to make 2 Memory Quilts. I would like to use this block in the quilts! My friend's husband had passed away and she kept all of his shirts. I put a fusible interfacing on the back of the shirts. Will I still be able to do this block? Will the interfacing help or hinder making the block? On some of the different videos, the person said to use the interfacing to help stabilize the fabric as some of the shirts are pretty worn and soft to the touch. Thanks in advance!
Is there fabric that does NOT have fusible, like the sleeves? If so, I would only use the fusible in the center square of the block. There are a lot of seams that will get pretty bulky if there is fusible. I guess it also depends on how THICK the fusible is. Yes..if the fabric is thin that's a consideration. Make ONE block and see what you think. How nice of you to make the memory quilt! It will be treasured.
@@bethshibleyquilts Thanks for your quick reply!
Did you stabilize your shirt pieces? I want to do with with my fathers and mothers shirts
I did not stabilize. They are all cotton👌
Saw tooth stars I think.
Hi there. What is the finished block size please? with and without seam allowance. Thank you
The UNfinished block - before sewing it together into a quilt - is 8 1/2”. 👌
@@bethshibleyquilts Thank you for this. Do you have a tutorial on your channel showing how to sew these blocks together on point as I've not joined on point blocks together before. Thank you very much.
I never see you chain stitch • do you and if not, any reason?
I do….. but when making these how to videos I’m focused on step by step 👌
@@bethshibleyquilts 👍
you have a way of explaining things so simply 😍
How many shirts did it take to make the quilt?
Maybe 7. It’s been a while…so I’m not sure.🙂
Most men's shirts are 100% cotton and most women's shirts are blended fabric. So weird. Still, time to head to Goodwill and buy a bunch of crazy dress shirts!
have fun buying and then SEWING!
@@bethshibleyquilts I will! Thank you so much!! xoxo
