T-Shirt Quilts

T-Shirt Quilts

Do you have t-shirts from sports, high school, college, sororities, or fraternities? I have made beautiful quilts from these shirts so that you can keep the memories forever. Here are some pictures of quilts I have made and a list of the sizes you can order. Please feel free to email me at MBRquilts@yahoo.com if you have any questions about having a t-shirt quilt made.


* Traditional T-shirt Quilt
Your t-shirt quilt will be sewn in a grid pattern where blocks have fabric sashing. The setting will depend upon the number of shirts to be used. For example: a twin sized quilt using 20 shirts would be set with 4 blocks across and 5 blocks down.






* Contemporary T-shirt Quilt
Your t-shirt quilt will have a more contemporary look where block size can vary and can be set on a contrast color and the angle of the block may vary.















* Pricing is for a finished, machine quilted t-shirt quilt. You provide the t-shirts to be used along with this order form, and I will provide the materials and labor for your keepsake quilt.

Placemats

I have been making these for myself for awhile now but thought I would make some for my Etsy account. There are two different color schemes with 6 placemats in each group:



Pastel quilted rectangle shaped placemats made using the Moda fabric line Verna. Pastel colors include eight charm squares in various combinations of soft blues, sage greens, coral, raspberry, soft pink, and muted brown. Each of the six placemats are made with 100% cotton fabric and batting and are machine quilted with a pastel variegated thread. The placemats can be machine washed and dried.
 
 
 
A variety of Sandy Gervais earth-toned colored fabrics were used to make these 100% cotton placemats. Some of the colors used in each placemat are olive and deep sage green, browns, orange and pumpkin, golden beige and teal. The placemats are machine quilted with gold thread and can be machine washed and dried.
