This is a wonderful quilt that is made out of t-shirts. This is quilt would make a wonderful gift.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • t-shirts that are in good shape
  • - must be close to the same size
  • scissors
  • sewing machine
  • Thread
  • quilt batting for the size of the quilt
  1. Step 1

    First lay out all the t-shirts so that you can make sure that they are in good condition where you need them. Then cut out the shirt into a square the size that you need.

  2. Step 2

    Lay the squares in the order that you want them placed in. Take two squares and put what is the insides of the shirts together. Make a seam down where the shirts are touching. Make a few more as the same way mentioned before. Make sure that you add squares along the bottom and tops of the previous squares.

  3. Step 3

    After you have all the squares sew together you can add more items to it. You can add the quilt batting and a backing to your quilt if you would like. If you don't add the batting and a backing to your quilt you can continue to add more to your quilt.

  4. Step 4

    You can leave the seams the way they are or you can cut them into pieces. To cut them take the pair of scissors and cut down the seam ( make sure you don't cut the seam). I would leave about an inch in between each cut that you make.
