| T-Shirt Quilt for My Carolina Girl |
Christmas has come and gone for some time now.
Yet memories plenty to be.
One made memory for our family this past year,
was a T'shirt quilt made & presented to my daughter.
Think she really liked the idea with all her 'ole & dear favorite T's
filled with memories all placed together into a quilt,
and to be able, to cozy up with them during the cold winter months.
Her favorite T's were cut and fused
And then sized for fitting into blocks measuring 12.5"x 12.5"
Eventually, 3 rows were formed.
The bottom area turned out with the widest row from pairing and sizing.
2.5 " strips framed each block.
Mainly strips of the color black were used to frame
along with a few other complimentary colors for
bordering each large block.
A widening purple border was used to finish off the quilt top,
The measurement with that widening border escapes me at the moment.
The backing pieced with a solid slate gray color cotton andbatting sandwiched between the back and top.
Black cotton binding put the finishing touches on this quilt.
Posted below are a few handy tutorials for making T-Shirt Quilts,

Happy Quilting!
