Next stop, memory lane! Turn treasured tees into something brand new—a T-shirt quilt! Capture the memories of a special time, starting with a quick pillow project or a baby quilt made from onesies, and work your way up to bed quilts in multiple sizes. Learn the secrets to choosing shirts, centering and cutting out around a logo, working with shirts that are too small, and interfacing knit fabrics with finesse. You'll practice your skills with 8 projects ranging from simple squares to pieced stars and triangles, plus easy machine-appliquéd motifs. With beginner-friendly designs and truly unique layouts to entice experienced quilters, this essential guide to T-shirt quilts covers all the bases.
  • Wrap yourself in the warmth of well-worn tees! Stretch a small collection with other clothing fabric, purchased knits, and quilter's cotton
  • Make your first quilt with simple piecing and easy machine appliqué, or try intermediate and advanced layouts
  • Have no fear of sewing with knits! Finish T-shirt quilts that will stand the test of time

        Conner (Modern Bee) and Crim (Pattern Making for Kids' Clothes) explore tips and techniques for incorporating T-shirts and other knit fabrics into quilts. The authors note the differences between working with knits and with woven fabrics, including suggestions for interfacing and cutting T-shirt fabric. Once they master the basics, quilters can follow the authors' tips for designing their own unique quilt or apply one of the eight projects included in the book. The projects go beyond the usual square- or rectangle-based designs, incorporating traditional blocks in both small and large scale as well as fusible applique and patchwork blocks and borders. VERDICT This book provides both guidance and creative inspiration.
