More than a month ago I finished a custom t-shirt quilt for my father-in-law. He requested a double-sided quilt; one side to feature his Yankees, Giants, and Rangers gear, and another to show off the t-shirts he's gathered from reffing and playing on baseball teams.
I used my friend Renee's awesome double-sided quilt hanging sleeve tutorial, and now the quilt proudly hangs in his bar/tv room! He says he switches it up all the time :) It makes me SO happy when someone really appreciates handmade!
After the holidays I plan on writing a tutorial for how I make t-shirt quilts. My process is different than that I've seen otherwise online, so I look forward to sharing!

great job! I'll have to check out that sleeve tutorial
ReplyDeleteJess I love your quilt!
ReplyDeleteI'm making a tshirt quilt for my dad made of all his concert Ts and surprising some Denyse Schmidt for Joann's that matches perfectly! I was thinking of using minky on the back with very minimal quilting or maybe tying. What do you think, have you tried it before? I haven't found any good advice on the web but know you have made a few would love your advice :)
Isn't it wonderful when our handmade gifts are truly and obviously appreciated!
