How to Make a Collage Style T-Shirt Quilt
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- I created this video because I think there are a lot of people out there that would love to make this style of quilt but have no idea how. I say that because I was the same way! I loved this quilt style but had no idea how to do it. So I hope this video gives you good instruction and details on the whole process.
This video took me a total of 2 weeks to make because I can only work on the quilt in the evening after work. The entire making of this quilt took me just under three weeks (I didn't film myself making the quilt back, the quilt sandwich, the quilting process, or adding the binding).

Thanks for watching!
This is the best video I have seen making a tee shirt quilt. Thank you
Carol, my husband was killed in a car accident last year. He had lots of T-shirt’s and I knew I wanted to do something with them. I had never made a quilt before but I watched your video over and over many times. I would get one step done and then watch the next step. I also studied other videos but yours was definitely the major one that got me started and kept me going. I just wanted to thank you for your detailed instructions. I was able to do it and I think it turned out good and something I will always cherish. I would not have been able to do it without you, so thanks again. Pam from Illinois. I wish I could post a picture, but not sure how or if that’s possible.
I'm so sorry to hear that! But I'm glad I was able to help you get through the process if turning those shirts into a quilt. :) You can post a picture on my facebook page. I'd love to see it! facebook.com/SegoviaQuilts/
I have a bag of football and rugby that my late husband wore, perhaps I should do the same, I don’t think my son will ever wear them, but he’d probably like a quilt. Fabulous tutorial.
Pam and Tracey, I'm so sorry to hear you both have lost your husbands. I think it's wonderful that Carol has posted this and you are both inspired to make quilts to remember your husbands. Light and love to all three of you ladies!
Pam T I'm sorry for your loss
Pam, my husband passed away 10 weeks ago. I want to learn how to sew, learn to quilt, and to make a memory quilt with his t shirts (he had lots). I am still on step 1, learning to sew. I am sorry for your loss.
Carol, Thank you SO much for your tutorial videos! When my daughter and son-in-law moved to Europe, they were limited in what they could take. They asked me to make them each a t-shirt quilt out of their collection of sentimental t-shirts they had kept from childhood, college, sports teams, etc. I had only basic sewing knowledge and a very old and basic sewing machine. I found your video, watched it all the way through, took notes, and referred back to it multiple times. It took me a year to make both quilts but I did it! I also got myself a nice new sewing machine in the process. I had documented my progress and made each of them a little booklet of how their quilt was made. I also made them each a storage bag.They both love their quilts! Your video gave me the confidence to tackle something I didn't think I could do. You are such a wonderful teacher! My next quilt will be one for my husband who is a huge UGA football fan. Peggy D.
Oh my gosh Peggy, that's so awesome!! I'm so glad I was able to help you make these wonderful gifts for your family! :D And making the booklet for how their quilt was made is such a great idea! I might have to add that for my client quilts! I'm sure they will love and treasure their quilts forever! I'm sure you're a pro at them now. Usually by the end of the first quilt everyone has a good rhythm and flow going. If I can help with any future projects, or if you ever need a longarmer, I'll be here! ;)
How can I thank you! My other half died last year to the day and then I watched your video...you have given me inspiration to do the same with all of his T-shirts so that I can have a cuddle with him again! I can't thank you enough. I'm sure he would approve of his shirts being used this way, so thanks xxx
I would also like to state how very well you delivered such a difficult topic that even I could understand. You have lifted my soul as I shall be closer to him now; many, many thanks.xxx
I don't sew, I don't own a sewing machine or even a pair of scissors, but I watched this entire video because you were so interesting and so detailed you made me believe that I might be able to make something like this quilt. You are an amazing teacher. Thanks for the enjoyment of the video.
Oh my gosh, that's awesome! Thanks for watching. :) You can totally do it! :) Well thank you, that's very kind of you to say.
Same here! Very calming to watch! Almost meditative.

I agree. I'm a well seasoned sewer h have made several t-shirt quilts, buf picked up several new tips.
You can make anything you want if you put your mind to it. I made some many of my children's quilts by hand until I got the hang of it by using the machine. Once you get started, you don't want to quilt. My mama never used a machine, she made everything she and some of children wanted was all made by hand. you can do it
you can always buy some needles, thread and a pair of scissors and go for it!
I’m watching your video again for a refresher course. After doing tons of research, watching UA-cam videos, and reading several books about making t-shirt quilts yours is hands down the best! About two years ago I made 2 out of my daughter’s sorority tees. They both turned out great! Getting ready to make 3 for the grandkids out of their Papi’s Harley tees. Thanks so much for the great instructions. Wanted to mention I hung a vinyl table cloth with a fuzzy back on the wall with 3M hooks to lay my blocks out. I’m too old to be crawling around on the floor 😂.
You are an excellent teacher! Your voice is so positive. We can tell you’ve made this quilt before. I can’t wait to get started.

Your instruction is so detailed it really leaves no doubt about what to do. Thanks for taking the time to be so detailed as it has made this, what I thought was a complicated quilt, seem relatively easy. I'm going to tackle this same design for a friend's daughter and a less nervous about being able to pull it off than I was before viewing your video. I am not a beginner quilter but have not done a random size quilt before so, again, thanks!
That's great to hear! I really tried to include all the info that I needed when I first started. Hahaha. It really can be easy if you take your time. The hardest part is the cutting. So long as you cut correctly, the rest is a breeze. If you mess up a seam, you just rip it out and try again. Hahaha. I'm sure you'll do great! If you're a quilter already, the measurements should be a piece of cake! :D Good luck!

Do you put the shirt on another fabric first?
Thank you so much for creating this video! I can tell you have taught someone before, you are so thorough, you don't over complicate, you don't use filler words, and you're so reassuring. So informational, thank you again
You must have missed all the "so's" She does have filler words but other than that I totally agree.
Hi, I feel as though we are old friends after watching this entire video. I'm going to make a t-shirt quilt for myself using shirts I got while working for Smithsonian. I'm retired now and am emotionally attached to them! After I "perfect" my skills I will make one of college tees for a granddaughter. Great job and you're a big help. Ann E
I felt the same way! I am motivated to start now - thank you!
Excellent tutorial! I did a T-shirt quilt several years ago but I wasn't totally pleased with it. I feel much more confident now for the next T-shirt quilt and will be making a couple of changes so that it will be easier to assemble and look much better! Thank you Carol!!
I'm glad my video is giving the confidence to try again! I'm sure you'll do great! So long as your cuts are good, there's nothing to worry about. Stitches can be removed but cuts cannot be undone. Measure twice, even three times & cut once! You got this!
Thank you so much Carol! I’m confident I can do this now that you have given so much of your time and knowledge to make and share this video!
You're very welcome! I'm glad I'm able to help. I always tell people, if you're nervous about messing up, go to Goodwill or hit some yard sales and buy several shirts for cheap. Make a quilt, from start to finish, using those shirts! By the time you're done, you'll have worked out all the kinks on the measuring, cutting, sewing, etc. If you mess up, no biggie because those shirts have no meaning to you. And then you can always donate the quilt!
Best demonstration of squaring up your blocks for T-shirts I’ve seen. Great job!
Thank you! I've seen several tshirt quilts where parts of the logos get cut off sadly. Doing it the way I do allows me to include the entire logo. Thanks for watching!
You are exactly right on about people wanting to make T-shirt quilts. V
Thank you, thank you, thank you. It has been 10 years since I quilted. This is the best step-by-step refresher and 100% the best tutorial for a collage style quilt. Is it long? Yes, but that's the beauty of it! Please ignore comments about "you could say less." or you say this or that phrase too much. This way is much more like you are in my living room talking me through it and it's perfect. I started and finished (yesterday) my college son's collage quilt that has shirts from preschool to high school. It was the best quarantine project and he loves it! Thanks for taking the time to do your videos.
Wow! Thank you! We recently purchased a new RV and I thought it would be neat to use t-shirts collected from our years of Cub and Boy Scouting with our 2 sons. I had saved the fronts/backs of t-shirts in a box when we moved. I thought to hire someone to do it, until I was reminded that I sew, I make quilts, clothes, etc. The puzzle design was what I wanted, but the random corners intimidated me. Your video took every bit of the mystery out of how to organize myself and how to sew it all together. I'm a tech geek, so I laid out my quilt using an Excel spreadsheet. I've pieced together my border strip and now ready to tackle connecting all my shirts and filler fabrics. I'm sure I will refer to this as I go. Your detailed instructions were exactly what I needed to take the leap. Thank you again and again!
Oh my gosh, this video was sooooo helpful. It's old, but really good!
My first quilt is super complicated t shirt quilt with frames over each block but I had no idea how to put them together. Now I do. Thank you.
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
So here we are at the end of your collage quilt. Who'd ever though that Pumpkin would have been the focal point. This is such a really fine job. % stars, hope your next video is quilting it. Really appreciate you taking us with you on this quilting journey!
great instructional video!
I am a nurse and I decided to hand sew at the beginning of Covid so that I could cope mentally. This was the first video I watched. I liked the idea of a quilt with different sized blocks because this was my very first sewing project and I knew I couldn’t cope with the conventional quilting. I made a storybook/photo/memory quilt and used your 4” method. My blocks worked perfectly because they were different sizes. Because we had very strict lockdowns in Australia I had lots of time. The quilt turned out to be queen sized and it took two years, 100% hand sewn and quilted. I have just taken it to South Africa. I came looking for you as I now want to make a quilt with my son’s ‘gangsta’ hoodie. Hopefully I will not take two years lol. Thank you so much for this video.
Oh my gosh! How wonderful to have been able to make a quilt entirely by hand! That for sure takes a ton of patience! I've wanted to hand quilt a quilt but never seem to have the time. I'm so glad my video helped you with you project! I'm sure your son will love his gansta quilt! Haha! And fingers crossed it goes faster second time around. Send pics when it's completed as I'd love to see it! Good luck and thanks for watching!
Thank you for putting this video out! It made the process totally understandable, I am now ready to try! The best part is I can re watch your method anytime to help out.
I was just really looking for a video that's JUST LIKE THIS! Thank you! For a beginner who has no idea what to do, you really did explain very well.
I usually make traditional t-shirt quilts, but a friend had so many shirts she wanted, that I was forced to try a Collage style t-shirt quilt. Your video is one of the very few that was so complete with instructions and easy to follow, that I was not as afraid to attempt to try it. Thank you so much.
This is THE BEST. most COMPREHENSIVE t-shirt quilt tutorial I have ever seen. THANK YOU!
Love the details and how you explain measuring, laying out design and sewing the seams. Thank you for a great video!
OMG! You are so professional! I am doing a t shirt quilt today with my daughter. I only hope it comes out as wonderful as yours did. You are amazing. The detail, the instructions, your patience, are all things a beginner enjoys. TY so much for being here this gloomy Saturday in Northern NY
Thank you! I'm sure your quilt will turn out wonderfully! Just make sure to measure twice and cut once. :) Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Fabulous video! Anyone that has made a quilt will find the collage method super easy! I was terrified! It went together super easy and looks awesome! Thank you!!😁
Your video is clear, calming and not intimidating to follow. I'm making a tee shirt quilt for my adult daughter which is indicative of her life - school, events, etc. Your video instruction is spot on perfection. Thank you for sharing your talent and look forward to any other DIY videos you care to share in the future.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you find it easy to follow, and I hope it answers any questions you might have during your project. Thank you for watching!
Thanks. I've taken 2 classes on t shirt quilts and left both not knowing or feeling confident to make a quilt without my teacher at my side. Your video taught me many things not covered in those classes. I'm ready to make another quilt. I have shirts of my son an daughters to make them quilts.
I'm sorry to hear that! :( But I'm glad I was able to fill in some blanks for you. :) That's great! They are easy so long as you take your time. Measure three times, cut once! Stitches can be taken out and fixed, cuts cannot be undone though. If you're worried about using their shirts for the first quilt, swing by a garage sale, or a goodwill and get several tshirts from there. You'll be able to practice but it won't be on shirts that have meaning. :)

I hax to figure it out on my iwn years ago. I wish I'd had this video.
You are a born teacher! This video helped me so much!
I love this quilt. It is the best t-shirt quilt I've seen. I have a lot of t-shirts I haven't done anything with because I haven't found a quilt design I liked until now. You are very articulate and easy to listen to. You are a born teacher. Thank you so much for making this video.
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
I am almost done sewing together the t-shirt blocks for a quilt. I watched this video from Carol and used her method of cutting the blocks from multiples of 4. I am so excited! They are going together so smooth and all have matched perfectly. One note would be to not forget to add the 1/4" to each side, have a very sharp rotary knife, a cutting mat and the rulers like Carol shows in her video. I have blocks that are cut: 4 1/2", 8 1/2", 12 1/2", 16 1/2", 20 1/2". Thank you Carol for making this so much easier for all of us!
That's great! I'm glad everything is working out. That makes the project so much more enjoyable! :D Oh yes, seam allowance is important. But should you happen to start cutting and forget the seam allowance, no worries! Just keep cutting the blocks the same way, with no seam allowance, and they will still line up perfectly. The only down side is all the blocks will be a half in smaller then you originally planned. :) You're very welcome, and thank you for watching!
I am currently making my first T-shirt quilt so I have watched this several times. Thanks for all your help, also your music choices are amazing. 🙂
Oh that's great! I'm glad I was able to assist. Good luck on your quilt. :) Hahaha, thanks!
This video was so helpful in inspiring me to think outside the box for these type of quilts. I can’t wait to try this technique! Thanks so much!
Because of the virus and staying home I decided to clean my "moment" closet out and give my 4 children all of the keepsakes I have been saving over the years. As I started opening bags and boxes I found 3 boxes of t-shirts from my youngest child. After watching your video I'm hoping I can make her a collage quilt. Thank you for your information and wonderful step by step instructions!!!!!
You are so very welcome. Thank you for watching and good luck on your project!
I have been saving shirts 4 years thanks I can now put them together the right way 🙂
By the way...great video! My wife won't make one for my son (too hard) so I'm going to do it. Cutting shirts and forming my quilt. I do a pretty good job with her 30 year old Kenmore.
+Rick Miller Oh very nice! Men quilt too so good for you! The older machines are great. They were built just like older cars, made to last and easy to work on. :) Good luck!
My first quilt was made on a Kenmore. That was a tie quilt.
Outstanding! This is classroom worthy material.
Well thank you! And thanks for watching!

Just watched your tutorial Carol, you are such a good teacher, you explain everything so clearly. I have just started making my very first keepsake baby quilt using my granddaughters first clothes, so your tutorial gave me a few ideas so thank you very much for sharing your skills.
Thank you very much! And thank you for watching! Oh, that's wonderful! I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job! 😊
Thank you SO much for being so thorough! I appreciate you Carol! ❤️
Just wanted to make a small point here. The content is not what makes a fabric stretchy. There are plenty of fabrics that are 100% cotton that are not stretchy: sheets, dish cloths, button up shirts, etc. What makes them stretchy is whether they are knit or woven. Rarely is a woven fabric stretchy (unless it is woven with elasticized thread) but knit is always stretchy no matter what the knit is made of. Many years ago double knit was all the rage. It was made of polyester and had plenty of stretch. Love your video. I am about to try this for the first time which is how I came to find your channel. Keep up the good work.
Great points! Thanks for providing them. :) And thank you for watching my video. Good luck on your tshirt quilt project. I'm sure you'll do great! :D
Just what I was looking for as all my blocks are different. Thanks so much
Just wanted to say thank you for producing such a good tutorial. I have saved tee-shirts for over 40 years knowing that one day I would make them into a quilt. Needless-to-say I was scared to start cutting them, but your instructions were so clear that I ventured ahead. I am so happy with the results. Thanks again.
THE BEST t-shirt quilt tutorial I've ever found. I love combining different sizes together to make it more like a collage of t-shirts. Thank you so much for your great instructions. Love it!
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching!
You did an outstanding job and very pleasant to listen to. I would love to see the next part of applying a border & backing. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
same. You explained it very well. I'm planning to do this. Thank you for the steps.
Thank you! And thanks for watching! Hopefully you found my video of how to add the border and do the quilt sandwich. It's not with this exact quilt top but it's the same process.
A great tutorial!
Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with us. I have a lot of T-shirts that I've collected over the years that mean something to me; usually a particular event or trip. I've been wanting to find someone to make me a quilt out of them and decided to watch a UA-cam video to see how many I needed. Your's was the first video I watched. You inspired me! I decided that after a little practice with my wife's sewing machine, I'm going to create another memory and make the quilt myself!
Thanks again for taking the time to show us all the hints and tricks so be successful with this project.
Thank you! And thanks for watching! What a great idea! Doing it yourself will make it that much more meaningful! :D Here's another tip before you start. Go to Goodwill or some yard sales and buy some tshirts. Use them to do a practice quilt, from start to finish. Doing a practice one first, on shirts your don't care if you ruin or not, will prepare you for the real deal. Then, once you're done, you can donate the quilt! A win win for everyone. :D I hope this helps and good luck on your project!
This is such an excellent tutorial! I’ve done a collage t-shirt quilt, large like this, for my youngest son out of his concert t-shirts. I also did the “Y” seams, and made those sharp intersections (b/c I’m an avid quilter)! As a retired educator, I want to compliment you on your thorough and well-paced instructions. They were impressive! I’ve had many requests to make t-shirt quilts, but I save all this work for only my family! I have another t-shirt quilt started for my first born son, and then I’m sure the bags of t-shirts will start coming in next for my grandchildren. Meanwhile, I’m still quilting and longarming quilts! Thank you for posting this to help all the people who would like to make a t-shirt quilt! 😉
I am a beginning quilter(about 7 finished quilts total) and your video regarding measuring, centering and cutting, and piecing is SO HELPFUL! I have saved so many t-shirts from my college days, concerts, and my children's school and sports events. Your video was one of the BEST I have seen to tackle a free form collage type quilt, and I'm excited to jump into the project asap ;)
That's great! Go you! :D Thank you and thanks for watching! You will do great! Just remember to measure twice and cut once. Stitches can be removed but cuts can NOT do undone. Good luck!
Love this video. Thank you so much for showing exactly what we need to do. The best video I have seen. You would make a great teacher in sewing. I wish you lived close to me. I would be signing up for lessons. Have a blessed day. Greenville sc
Thank you! You are very welcome. I tried to include everything that all the other videos left out! Hahaha. And I tried to answer all the questions I had when I did my first tshirt quilt. Aww, well thank you! I would love to teach sewing classes. Better than sitting in an office all day! Hahaha.
OMG! I wish I had found this video before I started working on my first tshirt quilt. My client wanted a collage so I just cut the logos as big as I could and then started piecing. BIG mistake!! I was over 1/2 through when I realized it was not going to workout so I started making adjustments to the remaining blocks and had to use many 'filler strips' to get things to line up. I still have a few seams to go before it will be done but clearly I could've benefited from your excellent instructions and demonstration ...oy... I'll know better for next time!! Thank You for taking the time to do this video!!
Hehehehe, I no! I feel your pain! I'm sure it was a great learning experience though. :) It's your first pancake. The first pancake always gets messed up somehow. :) But in the end I'm sure it will come together nicely! Thank you for watching and good luck on the rest of your project! :)
+Segovia Quilts is it possible to do four shirts in the middle and other quilting squares around?
Faith Stortz I don't see why not. So long as everything measures appropriately, it should work out just fine.
Thanks, have watched this half dozen times. You have done a great job of explains how to do this.
It just took a while for it to sink in. I have finally cut all my blocks out, collage style, and plan to next lay-it-out
Stage. Thanks again.
Well thank you and thanks for watching! Oh yey, that's great! The designing part is so fun. :) Good luck!
A most beautiful excellent tutorial! Thank you much! The T-shirt press is a timesaver!
Excellent instructions! Thanks so much for sharing!
Love this video! I have so many shirts of my children’s in storage that I just can’t give away (jerseys and tournament shirts and school shirts , etc.) I can’t wait to try to make them each a quilt !
Amazing, ive wanted to quilt all my old shirst for the last 7 years, ive been hanging onto them just for this reason. This is inspiring thank you.
You're very welcome, and thanks for watching! And if you don't have a longarm machine, remember we offer longarm quilting services! Check out our website for pricing and pattern options. 😀
Hands down. Love this! Thank you!!❤️
Thank you very much! And thanks for watching!
Amazingly detailed! Also the way you show how you center different logos was very helpful. Thanks so much!
Thank you! And thanks for watching! :)
Segovia Quilts tee shirt quilt
Since yoh make so many tshirt quilts, have you evef considered getting some plexiglass (what your rulers are made of) made in several sizes in incrementz of 4"?
Such as 4x4" square, 8x8" square, 12x12" square & 16x16" square.
You can mark the center and inch markings on them with a permanent marker.
I did this & it saves so much time.
That's some good thinking! I'll have to look into that. :)
Very good idea. 😁💝
Thank you for your very clear instructions.
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!
Extreamly clear instructions! I have a quilt which wasstarted several years ago. I wanted the "collage look" .So now I am inspired to finish it. With the cold weather and covid variant uprising again-- it would be a good project to keep me in and warm. Rayleen Pearson
Thank you!! You are a great teacher. Have a great day.
Very detailed and easy to understand directions. Thank you!
Thank you! And thanks for watching.
Super video, very informative! She does a great job explaining! Thanks 😀
Thank you. I've learned so much from your excellent tutorial. I went to a quilt making class for over a year but it was more social than learning, I rarely finished a project. You have a special gift for explaining step by step. I'm going to take the cover off my machine and complete some of my unfinished work now that you've shown me how to. All the very best for 2020 from Scotland. We say 'Lang May yer lumbs reek' 🏴
Well thank you for watching! Hahaha, it's funny how that happens. Similar to quilt guide meetings I've been to, all business and no sewing sometimes. That's great! I'm glad I've inspired you to do some sewing. :)
You have created the most comprehensive and easy to understand quilting video that I have ever watched! Thank you so much for taking the time to make and post it for all to see! Several people at church have asked me to make them a t-shirt quilt for their kids to take to college with them, but I never had the nerve to take their precious mementos and start cutting them up! Your video has given me the knowledge (and courage) to give it a try!
Well thank you!! You'll be surprised how easy it can be. If you've quilted before, you already have the sewing knowledge, the rest is just centering the logo. :) Just remember, measure twice, cut once, and most importantly, don't forget your seam allowance!! You'll do great! Thanks for watching.
This video answered many questions I've had for a very long time about making this type of quilt. I just wondered why you didn't use a quilting square to cut out some of your pieces. I really like that you used increments of 4" as your standard measurement multiple. Thanks for the tip abut the coupon!!
Wonderful! Well honestly, shirts have logos that are some many different sizes, I think I would need several squares to be able to always use one to cut out the logo. And it could change if I change the standard measurement as well. So, I just find it easier to use my two rulers. :D But you could totally use a quilt square for a simple style quilt where all the blocks are the same size. I did that over the weekend actually. I had been given shirts that were already roughly cut and I squared them all down to 10.5 x 10.5 using my square ruler. It was super easy. :D you are very welcome. I'm always glad for those coupons. :D
Lovely job explaining the process, I appreciate the level of detail
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
You did a fabulous job showing us how to make this quilt. Your attention to detail really helped and I look forward to pulling out my t-shirts and making a memory quilt. Thank you so much. PamC
This was a very thorough and comprehensive presentation. I'm looking forward to seeing more videos by you.
Thank you! I'll be posting one in about a week on how to complete the quilt. :) Thanks for watching!
Segovia Quilts p
This is an outstanding video It is the best one I've seen including the one I paid for!
Thanks so much
Well thank you! I'm sorry you paid for one that didn't meet your expectations, I hate when that happens! I've done it too. Hehehe. Thanks for watching!
I LOVED this project! You did a BEAUTIFUL JOB!! Thank you for sharing!
I am not normally a fan of tee shirts but I love this one. Thank for the tutorial.
This is perfect! I'm a meticulous and perfectionist person and you do such a good job and the style is just what I had in mind. I plan to spend lockup/quarantine to make a tshirt quilt! I've wanted to for many years so I've been collecting shirts and pants. How do you recommend I should cut up a pair of long fuzzy pajamas? Any different from the swim trunks?
I definitely will
Thanks
Brilliant!!!
I have been saving Eskimo Joe tshirts just to make a quilt of them. I prefer the way you've done this quilt with different size blocks. This is a fantastic tutorial! The way you take the time to explain each step is really helpful. I haven't started my quilt so I watch this tutorial for inspiration. Thank you so much!!!!!
That's great! :) Yes, I really like the collage style also. No two quilts are ever the same! Thank you! And thanks for watching.
Would love to see it finished quilted.
I’m going to try this with my baby clothes she passed at 4 months wish me luck I can’t afford to pay anyone so you have help tell me what I need to do I pray I don’t screw up lol thank you
That's a great idea! I'm so sorry to hear that! :( You will do great though. Just make sure to measure twice and cut once! Stiches can always be removed but cuts can NOT be undone. Good luck!
I am very sorry for the loss of your little angel. Will love to know if you made the quilt and maybe see a picture. 💝🙏
I've been watching you and I like your presentation. I like that you show respect for everybody and when you said, do you, you do you, it proved it you show respect for everybody and let them make the decision. It's encouraging for everyone to hear that.
Well thank you! And thanks for watching. Oh yes, everyone has their preference on doing things and honestly, no one person is right or wrong, although some people will swear they are! Hehehe! :)
a very much detailed instruction..
I watch to the finisd..I'm glad I stumbled upon your video..just by luck..I was nor looking...but iv been wanting to do a quilt...now I will start..for my late husband,dad and bro..
thank you so much from the bottom of my heart ...
May I ask what temperature you put your heat press on, and how much time you press for? Thanks a million- top notch tutorial for sure!!
Thank you SO much for this video! This is exactly what I needed. (The two Craftsy tshirt classes I bought were no help at all). Your cutting demo on how to center the image was perfect.
I am trying to make a lap size/twin size quilt, but virtually all of my tshirts measure 12 x 16 long. I do have the tshirt backs and logos. Do you have any suggestions for how to lay this out?
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching. :) I'm sorry to hear that! I've often wondered what the classes contained but never wanted to pay for them to find out. For lap size, I usually go with 60x60. You could do 5 across by 4 down and it would finish about 60x64. You could also go 5 across and 5 down and it would finish 60x80. That would make it a very large lap quilt. For a twin, I would go 6 across and 6 down and it would finish about 72x96. That's assuming all your blocks are 12x16 inches.
Thank you so much for this video! I can’t believe the amount of detail you put in this! It is so appreciated! I know how to quilt but a T-shirt quilt is a little different and this video helped so much! I am no loner nervous about making a T-shirt quilt and potentially ruining my shirts! I can’t give enough praise! Wonderful job!
I've made several tshirt quilts in the grid style but couldn't figure out how to do the collage style. Your video was so good and it gave me the key piece of information I'd been missing: use measurements that are multiples of a given number. Thank you! Also I continue to use your trick of multiple rulers. I've been sewing and quilting for a long time but love learning new ways of doing things.

hi do you make quilts for other people? would like to get one done
I saw your massage on facebook and answered you there. :) Thanks for watching!
Erika Ruiz. I was wondering to
Chrissy Reiswig Yes, I do make quilts for other people. I currently have about a 4 month wait. :O Lots of people saw my video and wanted me to make one for them. :D
Ok Can you tell me how much you will charge to put a blanket with baby clothes
Chrissy Reiswig I'll need to get some more details from you on the quilt you would like first. Send me a message on my facebook page: facebook.com/SegoviaQuilts/ And I'll be able to give you an exact price. :D
Thank you for you expertise, I have watched this a couple times and will watch more before I can do one for me. Just beginning to sew again after years of not. Love your videos!
Thank you for watching! :D you can always do a test quilt. Swing by a Goodwill and get several shirts. Then you can practice but it's alright if you mess something up since the shirts didn't mean anything to you. And, once you finish your practice quilt, you can always donate it! It's a win win. :D
You are an excellent teacher!!!! I am very confident now about making one of these now!!!
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
You are an excellent teacher. Thank you for this detailed class.
Thank you! And thanks for watching.
Your instructions were amazing. Your tips and tricks really helped! I just finished sewing the tshirt panels all together and it looks so cool! Next step is the border!
Thank you! And thanks for watching! That's wonderful! I'd love to see pics of the finished project! Send me a message here: facebook.com/SegoviaQuilts/
Amazing tutorial/demonstration! I watched this video a good 5-6 times all the thru. I'm making memory quilt bed runners with my daughter's clothes. I now feel confident that I can do them after watching you create this quilt.
Thank you! And thanks for watching! Wow bed runners huh? That's really cool. :D You'll do great! Just measure twice and cut once. :D stitches can be taken out, cuts can't be undone though. :(
Thank You for sharing on how to do the cutting measurements ~ been struggling with this myself!!👍🏽
No problem! Figuring out the math is half the battle honestly. :)
Thanks for this very detailed tutorial for a t-shirt quilt blanket!
Thank you for this tutorial. Very helpful since I have so many different size squares for my quilt.
Thank you so much for your directions! I am a novice sewer, but tackled my daughter’s sorority shirts. Not as accurate as yours (still learning!!), but I love it!!
I am very impressed with this video. Lost my hubby 2019, he had so many Tshirts. I couldn't part with them. My daughter suggested a tshirt quilt. I've been gathering all the supplies I need but am a bit nervous to start cutting the shirts. Your video has helped me gain some confidence. But still unsure about joining the backing and matting to make the sandwich.
Maybe another video. But thank you for this one.
