Me again :) lol I delivered the T-shirt quilt I made today to the gentleman who lost his father earlier this year and he was almost in tears (and me too). It was a beautiful moment to say the least. I wanted to personally thank you for such a wonderful tutorial. The absolute best!! I must say the instructions you gave about ironing on the interfacing BEFORE cutting out the squares was so invaluable!! I wish I could show you the end result but suffice it to say it turned out amazing!!! Thanks again 🙂

HI there! Great video! I am just about ready to sew my shirts together. However, I am hesitant to do so because I would really like to make it double sided (due to having a ton of shirts!) Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a "diy" video on how to put it all together so that it all lines up properly. Any advice on how to do so? Thanks!
@auburnhillhomestead6565

Make sure all tshirts have the backing, that way they won’t stretch. Then you’ll just have to take your time to line up all seams. Use a LOT of pins to hold in place. And since you’re not doing a backing fabric, you’ll need to put on a regular quilt binding. I’m sure there are plenty of KZitem videos on that.

I have watched several videos putting a t-shirt quilt together and yours has the best instructions!!Can you tell me how much backing flannel you used and how much batting? Thank you.
@auburnhillhomestead6565
7 ай бұрын
I always measure my finished product. And you’re going to want same size as the tshirts for the batting. And then at least 3 inches extra around all sides for the backing fabric. For a quilt the size of the one in the video, I would get 2.5 yards of extra wide flannel. The regular width is not enough. You could always do 5 yds of regular with and piece it together to make it wide enough, and you would just have an extra seam down the middle and a LOT of scrap fabric. Hope this helps!

I’ve used both, lightweight definitely goes through my machine better, as it’s 3 layers thick. But it’s about preference. I needed way more muscle with the medium weight.

Love this and definitely going to attempt it as a first time quilter! You made each step super easy to understand. Q. Is there any way you could make this an add on project throughout the years? I was going to do it with band tees I own and as I get older would like to add more. What’s the best way to do this?
@auburnhillhomestead6565
Жыл бұрын
You wouldn’t be able to have a finished product until you had all the tees. You could just put the front together and keep adding on, and then when you’re finally all done, put the back on. Otherwise you’d have to take a seam ripper, take the backing off the quilt, and then piece on the tees. I’d be afraid of ripping it, or it not fitting together quite right.

Hi I love this! If I have to piece the backing because it isn’t wide enough, would I just piece it to line up with some of the seams between the squares?

I have done it that way and also just had them at different spots, and it just looks like there’s more quilting on the back. If you do that, I would just go for symmetry.

Thank you for this start to finish video! Very clear and nicely done. So you did stitch in the ditch to quilt the layers together? I had read in another blog that if the seams were ironed open, the stitch in the ditch wouldn't hold well. Have you had any problems with this? I just finished a collage style t-shirt quilt, using different size t-shirt blocks, so I was wondering about doing SID, even though, the lines won't all be perfectly vertical or horizontal. I was also thinking of not using any batting at all. Have you made any without the batting?
@auburnhillhomestead6565
3 жыл бұрын
I ironed open each seam, and then quilted with SID. I have used two types of batting, the one you see in the video and then a traditional quilt batting that is thinner. I have never not used batting, so not sure how that would work. I also always use the flannel as my backing fabric, so maybe that helps hold the seams in place. I have made many T-shirt quilts and I have never had one come open. I think the SID would look cool on the multiple sizes! Thanks for watching!
