Easy T-shirt Quilt - Great for Beginners Including Borders

- čas přidán 12. 01. 2024
- There are several situations that call for a t-shirt quilt. My situation is that my brother-in-law fixed my car and requested a t-shirt quilt instead of payment. I have been decluttering and a t-shirt quilt made from my old t-shirts will keep the memories, free up the room and make something I can cuddle. What is the reason you need a t-shirt quilt? Is a child graduating or has a friend asked you to make something from a loved ones shirts?
No matter the reason, Di from @sisterchicksquilting has assured me that t-shirt quilts are a breeze. Let's find out together if she is right!

Absolutely love this!!!
8:58 -- I found so much value in how you combined the front left chest design and the larger full back image. 🤩🤯🥳
I have to make one too! Thank you for all of the tips!
Well done!
I have made 3 t shirt quilts and now working on 3 more Harley t-shirt... with all the quilts I do, I have made for Graduations and also for all my 1st cousin's. They never know what they get and most are surprised when they get them.
You did a great job
Great job, love your videos
Great Job!!
I made one for my sister I wish I could show you. I ragged it and it turned out great
Great job.❤
I love the NASCAR quilt it came out so cool looking I've made one t-shirt quilt about 3 years ago and it was my first one and I thought they were super easy everyone told me how hard they were to make but I thought they were easier than a regular quilt to make but I didn't have Oliver to help me with mine. Eat some chocolate and have a great day.
Thank you ❤️
I loved this quilt
Love your creativity!!! Quilt turned out great!!!
Thank you so much!
Looks good!
I make a point of picking up souvenir tshirts from various places to make into a quilt. I have more than enough but other quilts take priority. Maybe this year.
I really like it!
Good job. I think every quilter has a T-shirt quilt on their bucket list. Few make them. Definitely looks easy enough to do with stabilizer.
Marionberries are a type of blackberry grown in the pacific northwest (mostly Oregon).
Love your quilt, good job! I'm going to try it in the future.
Good job! My first quilt Was a T-shirt quilt. It came out awesome!
Wonderful!
I love making the t-shirt quilts.... they are so much fun, large blocks that make fast quilts.....I have made more than 10 of them and have a pile ready to do. I like to try to keep the blocks at 12ish inches so then I can cut them and put the interfacing on them and store them in scrapbook boxes (I am working on the grandson's quilt so he is still wearing the shirts I am using, so as he out grows them I cut them up!!!)
That is awesome!
that LOOKS REALLY nice!
Wonderful!
Awesome,😍
Thank you for sharing this , you did a fabulous job and I’m going to try this for the first time 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Hope you have fun!
Great job April! It’s such a blessing to have a friend who’s experienced the same and can give us tips to help along the process! Love Di💕💕🧵
Great job April! Your quilt turned out wonderful, I love the black and white checker theme you have on it!
Thank you Di
I appreciate the feedback and thank you for watching my channel ❤️
My husband is a huge NASCAR fan. He would love this quilt
Looks great April ❤️
Thank you! 🤗
I love it it turned out great!
Me too! Thanks for watching ❤️
This was awesome! I have also never made one of these & was handed a huge pile of t- shirts to make a boyscout themed t- shirt quilt
Thank you so much... and thank you so much for watching my channel!
Hi April happy new year. Great t-shirt quilt it looked like a challenge but it turned out great 👍
I’ve always wanted to make a t-shirt quilt. You have inspired me to give this a try.
Ps I love your haircut ❤
Yay! Thank you!
It’s nice that Di helped you out. Her T shirt tutorial is something I plan on using. Your Brother-in-law is going to love it. Great job
When I make a t-shirt quilt I use a heat press, a great time saver. I also use parchment paper as my protective layer between the heat press and the t-shirt.
turned out great
Thank you
Where can I get the layout wall for my quilt squares? I have had to lay mine on the floor which kills my back.
I love how it turned out. It’s always a little scary starting out with a t-shirt quilt because there are so many variables but they eventually start taking on their destiny. You did a great job.
The quilt is priceless…and so are you! Blessings for you in 2024! 🥰
When I made a t-shirt quilt, I ironed the stabilizer on the t-shirt before I cut out the design.
What an awesome quilt. Great job.
Thank you! 😊
I make t-shirt quilts for graduates. I have to do lots of creative piecing bc the shirts are from infancy through the teen years. Thanks for the great video. Please show how you finish quilts when you have time.
Oh my goodness you made the coolest T-shirt quilt Miss April. He is gonna LOVE it. I have always shied away from T-shirt quilts but after watching Miss Di’s video I think I’m ready to try it. Thanks for taking us on this journey…it turned out fantastic!! Have a terrific weekend. Woke up this morning and it was -14 degrees outside. 🫣😩🫣😩 definitely a day to be sewing. Lol 🤗🤗🤗
You are most welcome. It is 27 here. Definitely a great day to stay in and sew.
April
Oooooo, what a lucky girl to have a friend from Idaho Falls, who sends anything with Marionberries. Love me some Marionberries. Thanks for this tutorial. Take care and blessings to y'all.
Your brother in law is going to LOVE that.
Thank you
I made my one & only t-shirt quilt for my son. I had no idea what I was doing. I made a few (several) mistakes.😊 It had to be King size for my son. He's 6 feet tall. Oh my goodness, what a chore. It was heavy & bulky & difficult to handle. I was frustrated making it. My son was so happy with his quilt. And now, years later, after watching your tutorial, I'm willing to make another one. I bet this time it will be much easier now with your instructions. Thank you April.
I've never made a t-shirt quilt, I've watched people make them but that's it. You did an awesome job, looks great!
Love the quilt. He will appreciate this form of payment!!
What a keepsake , I love it as it is. I’m going to do a travel keepsake. Yours is perfect. Thank you, having been thinking about this. You gave me a push to get started.
Wonderful!
awesome job
Thanks!
From Who Dat to the Pels...April are you a NOLA girl? I live on the Westbank and love seeing you support the New Orleans teams. Love the tips you shared today. I have made 1 t-shirt quilt and each shirt is sashed like a tradional quilt block. Once it was done, the instructor I was working with apologized for making me do so much extra work and not assemble it as you did. Oh well I enjoyed the experience and my daughter loves her quilt! Have a great day!
Yes I am!
I love my team!
Thank you for all your kind words and thank you for watching!!!
Love it. Made one for my brother with his motorcycle tee shorts. Between shirts 2-1/2" white flannel straps. Instructor in class had us cut 10-1/2" blocks..using back and rotating back 1/4 turn instead of stabilizer. Great fun and he koves it.
I love that
Thank you so much... and thank you so much for watching my channel!
Love the quilt, those poor shirts 😅
Hi April, I like this way of making a t-shirt quilt. I have lots of old t-shirts I can use. Thank you April and Di for the useful tips.
I have to do a t-shirt quilt for a nephew, so this was timely and I enjoyed your information. I counted quilts in project in my living room alone there were 56 in various stages. I still have to get into my fabric room and make a list, LOL.
Love it 💗
Wow, April!!! You came in 1st place on this one (of course you did)! Awesome job!!! I'm making one for a friend with all her Harley Davidson t-shirts and hope I can really rev up some excitement like yours does. I also watched Du's video a few days ago, and she knocked it out if the park for me too with great tips! I'm heading to my friend's home in Phoenix next month to do it together even though doesn't sew. She's a bone marrow transplant survivor and she's cancer free, so this quilt will not only keep her snuggly warm at night, it's a celebration of a time she was full of her love of riding, speed, and the thrills of living. I hope I do justice for this tribute as you did. You've really inspired me on this one. Ig, before I forget, I LOVE that large clock joined in with the smaller signed graphic, too. Very nice vision! Thanks as always! Amazing and fun!!! ❤❤❤
Love it! ❤
I love you tutorials. Your techniques are easy to understand and you make everything so fun. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
Thank you for watching my channel
You did a beautiful work with this!
Thank you so much!
I am not a fan of t shirt quilts…. But it sure would help clean out my closet!
lol
I think your tee shirt quilt turned out great! When you get it quilted and bound you need to show it off to us! Interested as to what you will choose for the backing. 😊
I love it!❤
You've inspired me😊
I have a cordless Panasonic that I bought last summer, it doesn't seem heavy enough or get hot enough for quilting, it's ok for laundered garments. I'm back to using my Oliso for quilting needs.
you go girl
I made a few of them for friends & family. I use all the time the 1 I made for my husband. ❤ it.
Great job! I’ve made several t shirt quilts. Each one a challenge, but what a great sense of accomplishment when they are done!
Yes! Thank you!
Thanks for the tutorial I learned something new today thanks
Love how this turned out! Great job, April!
April, what an awesome job!!! Now make another one for you, loved watching your techniques, and thanks Di! So so gorgeous, best video yet! More to come please
Thank you so much!
April! I love this quilt. It sure helps to have such great tee shirts!
Very nice, glad you got to make it. Di's turned out nice too. Take care!
Love the T-Shirt quilt. I have never done one but I have tons of t-shirts. I also have a ton of sweat shirts that hopefully will also get done.
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hello April, great job! I’ve never made a Tshirt quilt before but what I was thinking when I saw that large printed shirt was, “that could be made into a panel for the center since that’s the theme “ then use other shirts as accent blocks either all the same size or different sizes similar to a Sampler quilt. I’ve been collecting concert T-shirts and I would like to finally make myself a quilt to use at the “concert in the park “ events that go on in the summer;)
Great idea!!
Had to watch this even though I absolutely hated making 2 of these for my brother (he gave me 65 t-shirts!). I'm glad to know I did it the same way you did (except I used the tiny pocket designs as cornerstones in the sashing). I also used b/w checkered fabric for sashing on one of them. It's not fun having to put fusible on everything. The whole process was such a pain that I didn't make anything else at all for almost a year. Never again!
Thank you for the inspiration with making a t-shirt quilt
Yay Robbie hope it gets quilted lol still waiting on my cross wall hanging to get finished 😂 don't u know Roy said I want you to make me a t-shirt quilt 😊
Great job sister inlaw ❤
Now everybody wants one 😂
Wow this is great!!
❤️
That's funny. The very first thing I ever made was a Tee Shirt Quilt for my grand son.
I made 2 of these for my granddaughters when my daughter passed.
LOOKS GREAT!
Great quilt April!❤❤❤
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! This was fun to watch! I know your brother-in-law will love this! You sure looked pretty with your green vest on and your hair down in the beginning of the video!
Another great video you are amazing
Thank you
It came out GREAT! I know he will love it. 💞 Thank you for sharing. 😊❄⛄
Thank you! 😊
Gorgeous quilt April!
I love this! I have several tshirts I've been hanging on to, always planning to do this. You're my inspiration! Thank you!
Great video April! Big hugs to Oliver❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!!
Great job on your tshirt quilt! I am so glad I am not the only one that has a lot of quilt tops not finished! My goal is to get some finished this year as well! But so many pretty quilts to make......love doing the tops....
Great job looks awesome
I love your basic square tshirt quilt. Thanks for sharing your how-tos from your friend.
Thanks for watching!
Yea NASCAR! Dale Earnhardt fan. Love it, hands down.
You sound like my husband. 😀
Love the new hair doo!
April that looks absolutely fantastic. Well done. I'd love to get a quilt like that so your brother in law should be really happy I'm sure.
Thank you so much!
Another winner😊
I love what you did. Maybe it will give me encouragement to make mine
Fabulous job on the t-shirt quilt ❤
Like it a lot you give me a idee 🎉
Love it another great quilt
Thank you! 😊
Wow that came out great. I learned how to quilt so I can turn my old band shirts into a quilt…but here I am like 3 yrs later and I still haven’t touched that stack of shirts lol. Maybe this will be the year it gets done since it actually looks to be easier than i thought it would be.
I know what you mean. I just made myself start it and then I started having fun!
I have never tried to make a T-shirt quilt. I'm going to give this a good try when I get enough T-shirts together.
You can do it
Your quilt turned out great!!!
❤️
Hi April!! I just discovered your channel today and I am loving it!! I’m not very experienced in quilt making, but you make it look like “sew” much fun! I just subscribed. 😊
I’ve wanted to make my hubby a T-shirt quilt with all his Sprintcar shirts (he has a big tub of them), but I was hesitant to try it. Not anymore!You have inspired me to do it.
Thank you! I love the quilt you made. By the way, your fur babies are the cherry on top! Keep up the good work! I gotta go now, I have more of your videos to watch! 😃🐈😻
