Vent... tshirt quilts

can I just say that I do not like cutting tshirts for a quilt.  The suckers stretch even with the interfacing!!   UGH. 

My mantra for the day:

I can do this and not kill anyone

I can do this and not kill anyone

I can do this and not kill anyone

...where is my wine??.....

I can do this and not kill anyone....

  • It doesn't help that I procrastinated in doing this!  As long as I can get the top done for christmas, then I will be ok.  It can be quilted after the new year. 

     And this will be the last tshirt quilt I do.. that is for sure..

     

     

    watch me.. I will eat those words....

  • Oh man. I've been wanting to make one with my old college shirts and this post sort of scares me from even trying!

    Don't let it!!!    I am a HORRIBLE perfectionist!  and I mean horrible!   If I drop a complicated stitch while knitting, nine times out of ten, I will rip it all apart and start all over again.!!!   I have a hard time trying to let go and remember it doesn't matter all that much, that it is being made from the heart and with a lot of meaning!!   

     And that I flat out procrastinated!!  (My middle name!!).

  • If you need any assistance please let me know! I create custom t-shirt quilts and also sell t-shirt quilting kits - it even includes the interfacing. Sounds like you might just need a heavier interfacing if your t-shirts are still stretching....

    Umm I prefer to support my local yarn shops and local quilt shops when it comes to materials and assistance.  Thanks.
