Thank you so much, I used this tutorial to make a quilt with my son shirts. He died 1/12/2022 of Burkitts Lymphoma and this quilt gives me such comfort. Thank you for helping me grief my sweet boy - I’m not very tech savvy, but I’d love to send you picture of the final product 💚
So sorry for your loss❤ what a great way to memorialize 🙏 God bless you
A t-shirt quilt that the average non-pro sewist can actually do, how marvelous! Your directions are clear and easy to follow. Thank you.
I've got 3 of these to make and I've been really stressing because I was worried about ruining the shirts. Your video has given me the confidence to get started. You make it look easy! Thank you!
As a matter of fact im yarn quilting my first now for my daughter. Its just time consuming! But its turning out nice.
Thanks for this awesome tutorial. I used it to make my granddaughter a graduation quilt with all her jerseys/tshirts from playing softball. Very good instructions!
I loved your t-shirt design so followed it and made my granddaughter a quilt for her graduation party yesterday. She loved it and a lot of the guests. I used her school colors of navy and gray and white. used plain navy on the back. it worked up fast and easy. I bought 2 yards of gray and 3 yards of navy, and used the navy for the binding and still had about 1/2 yard left or so. no gray left..some people had asked about the yardage so thought I'd share. I used pellon 101 for the interfacing and it worked really good. quarter inch seam for everything was used. I wanted to post a picture, but I don't see a way to add one..oh, and I used gray thread all the way through and nothing showed through.
Thank you!
Did you quilt the top, or tie it? I'm wondering how to finish it...
You never cease to amaze me, Laura! I'm a moderately experienced quilter so I sometimes think "I don't need to watch that, I already know how that works." But I've learned that no matter the subject, you've always got at least a little something new to teach me. Thank you so very much!!
I'm happy to hear that, because I do try. thank you for watching:)
My daughter wants a quilt with her Rush t shirts. I don't think anyone makes a bed that big. But I will be using your great ideas on her two quilts. What a great video. Many thanks.
I have a vintage Rush tee shirt! I would love to make a quilt with Queen tees!
I love your videos. I have just started learning out to quilt these past 5 months. Absolutely addicted. Thank you for sharing your talent, your knowledge and your gift of sewing, quilting and teaching.
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve watched is several times and just finished a quilt for a Christmas gift using this very method. I’m amazed that such good instructions were available for no charge! THANK YOU!
That was fascinating watching you work this piece out. It is not really my thing, but it is a very interesting piece. I love the way you have introduced some depth to the painting and the vibrancy. Your work is sometimes quite muted. This is different and fresh. ❤
Laura, your video was concise, informative, and fun! I appreciate your respect for a busy sewist's time, so now I'm going to gather my daughter's tees and follow your lead. Thanks so much!
that is great news....thanks for letting me know
Laura does an amazing job explaining it all. You'll like her.

I wish you would share how to determine how much fabric fabric for the borders.

I have a t-shirt quilt in progress, using this tutorial, of course! I have all shirts cut and stabilized and pressing fabric for the black shadow portion, then will prep and cut the other border fabric, which is planned to be black and gold stripes. Thank You so much for this tutorial, it makes a t-shirt quilt look like much more than a t-shirt quilt!

Hello Laura. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Getting the knitted fabric of the shirts was an idea genial. Here in Brazil I try to be creative also willing to learn and reuse tissues with America art of Patchwork. I made a video using mesh fabric with the technique of Crazy. I am an admirer of your craft Patchwork. Your channel has helped me a lot. Congratulations !!! Kind Regards! Katia.
thank you:) and thank you for watching
I am a beginner, so I need some extra guidance....you are sewing on the top of the black and pink borders...is this correct? You are not putting the right sides together to sew until you begin sewing the line of squares together after the four borders have been attached with top stitching. Please confirm I have this correct. thanks very much!
great pointers, I love the framing idea!
thanks and thanks for watching
Wow you make it look so easy thank you for sharing!
Thank you I'm glad you like it
Thank you for the great tutorial!
Love this Quilt going to try to make this ❤
Nice demo! Thank you for sharing!
Love your video Laura
Thanks Laura, I feel more comfortable with cutting and working with my t-shirt after watching your tutorial!
Just fantastic!
thanks:)
Nice tutorial...I can see myself adapting it to a memory quilt for a small child. Thanks for the help...
You could difinitely do the same with baby t-shirt and clothes
This video was extremely helpful! Thank you! 🙂
Made this so simple. ❤
Great video, I’m a complete beginner and am trying to do with all my old hockey shirts. You mention using a top stitch to fill in the neck of shirts that need it. But I’m wondering what stitch you did to connect the borders to the shirt blocks, and what you then did to connect all the blocks together to finish it? Was it also a top stitch? Thanks!
This is very informative and thank you for your instruction. I have a question, though. Why do you prefer a stabilizer over a light weight woven interacting? Also the link for florian is confusing and I could not find the stabilizer your were referring to. Thanks.
Thank you! I feel like I’ll be able to do this now!
Love it! And I have a question 🙋🏽♀️ Q: we don’t have to use backing sheet on the back…? Ty!! 🧵🪡
great tips!
Nicely done! Perfect pacing; not too fast and no babbling off on tangents.. once straight thru w/o pausing to repeat, repeat, repeat like so many do. Question: For the framing strips - do you sew/baste seams or fold in half lengthwise.. and do you sew strips 1st then sew onto squares or pin the frame strips and sew directly to squares, hemming as you go?
Thank you for this video. What kind of material did you use for the borders? Did you press stabilizer on to them before sewing them on to the t-shirt squares?
Great idea, well explained video. Thank you Laura
thanks
this video has been so helpful! Thanks!
Thanks and thank you for taking the time to watch:)
I like the effect of the black strips as it gives a three dimensional effect. I still look forward to seeing your videos. Thank you Laura.
thank you and I always look forward to your comments:)
Amazing!!! Thank you so much.
Awesome video!!!
Thanks so much ❤️🙏🏻
I love this 🙂
This will be my next adventure, sewing a Michael Dunahee memory quilt for my sisters 81 birthday ( his grandmother) I haven,t measuresed anything to exact yet, but I think to get everything in the block will probably be somewhere around 16". These shirts have been made every year now for over 25 years, this will be a challenge for me, but I know my sister will love it, and give her comfort. So should the border fabric be washed as well? Thanks for your videos, it will make this a gift of love!
I'm making one for my husband for Christmas. My blocks will vary in height and width, so I'm adding baseball fabric to go with the baseball tees to adjust the sizes. I also had made photos on fabric of us at the game, our other family members with him at the game that I will border like a frame. The last 2 things I will attach are 2 patches that commemorate the passing of a couple of baseball greats. So far everything is cut, and fused. I need to get working faster than I am. 🙂
It will be a great memory quilt :)
What a wonderful presentation you gave! Good ideas and simple!
I would like to ask what you used on the back of the quilt and what kind of batting so it’s not too heavy. Thank you!
love your sewing/cutting table. did you have it made or buy it as is.
Wonderful tutorial!!
What did you use for the back
Thank you so much for making this video. I have just started high school and fell in love with the idea of making a memorial quilt out of all (or most) of the T-shirts I get! This was so easy to understand for a beginner sewer I I am looking forward to making it already!
That was amazing
Great video, going to give it a try.
Thank you sew much! Making one for my granddaughter!!
Thank you for your video. I finally got started. The only problem is that some of my shirts were a tad smaller, so I ended up cutting them 12 x 12 instead of 12.5, hope that will still be OK??? I have more to make anyway so this will be my practice one! Thanks.
Do you use the same material for the backing that you use for the pink colored (not shadow) border?
I loved the technique used in this tutorial, where the block borders are completed along the way & just necessitated two long borders on each side, to complete. I see no reason why not to incorporate this technique in square block quilts, other than t-shirt quilts. Am I correct in this assumption?
So is it a half inch seam allowance? Love this idea
Some good tips here, but Laura says to determine the size of your largest design and make that your block size (with seam allowances) then opts to use her 12-1/2" square ruler to size her pieces, cutting off some of the designs in the process. Wish I had seen this about the neck opening when the design is too close to the neck BEFORE I cut all my shirts. Now I'm going to have one or two designs cut off because I don't have enough for the seam allowance.
Great. Thanks.
What product do you use to fuse the finished quilt top to the backing? Do you fuse in sections?
Lovely!
Thanks
When doing the boarder on the right side and bottom do you add another pink piece to each block or see them all together then add a solid strip?
Great information for me as I am beginning my first t-shirt quilt. I love the 'framing' of each square. Do you happen to know how much material (yds) is required of the pink and black? And does the 12" squares, 5 x 6 like you did, fit a queen bed comfortably?
if I remember right it fit just the top:)
I love this tutorial. I am about to try my first tee shirt quilt. All of the shirts I'm using are black. what colors would you reccommend for borders.
Thank you for this great tutorail.
