Road Race Memory Quilt

V-necks! One of the most common challenges I have to work around when designing a t-shirt quilt but the solution can be simple or creative. Since this quilt was already a pretty straight forward memory quilt, I opted for the creative solution. It’s rare that I get adult tees that all work out to aContinue

College Days Memory Quilt

For this commission piece I used an uneven setting that combines 12″ and 14″ finished blocks with scrappy 2″ pieced sashing. This setting allows you to accommodate shirts that are too long to fit easily within a 12″ block, a common issue with adult sized t-shirts. I also took graphics from the sleeves and chestContinue

Disappearing Nine Patch Memory Quilt

Turning 16 t-shirts into a queen sized quilt is a challenge because when cut down to the common 12″ finished block, you’ve only covered a 48″ square. Another challenge with this particular group of t-shirts was a lack of common colors; I mostly had bright or tie dye prints and lights or beiges. A disappearingContinue

Rose Gold Four Patch Memory Quilt Duo

Imagine a tradition in which the maid of honor turns her gown into a throw quilt for the bride and a baby quilt for the maid? That’s what my most recent commission requested. She sent me her rose gold dress and I knew the perfect fabric collection to pair with it. I’d signed up forContinue

Graduation Dorm Memory Quilt

Using EQ8 to plan my collage style t-shirt quilt commissions has been a life changer! I set my quilt width to accommodate for columns that will finish at 16″, 14″, 12″ & 10″ wide. I then go through each item and determine the smallest size it could be cut down to without losing any ofContinue

Neon Straight Set T-Shirt Quilt

When I started gathering my boys old spirit wear for their t-shirt quilts, I never expected there to be so many neon shirts! I knew we had some here or there but once it was all gathered up together it became apparent there was enough to make a whole neon quilt. I went with aContinue

Iroquois Spirit Letter T-Shirt Memory Quilt

I love making t-shirt quilts that are a little out of the box and this one definitely qualifies as that! This layout technically has 9 shirts but it’s actually made from just 1 jersey, 1 pair of shorts and 1 t-shirt. The sides of both the top and bottom portions of the letter “I” areContinue

Olentangy On-Point T-Shirt Memory Quilt

I’ve been working my way through this big pile of t-shirt quilt projects and the next one is an on-point setting made from my blue & gold spirit wear as well as my husband’s. These block centers are 12″ squares set on point with fabric from my favorite collection, Wander by Joel Dewberry with FreeContinue

Olentangy T-Shirt Memory Quilt

Next up in my sons’ bazillion t-shirt memory quilt project is a straight set of his blue & gold shirts. These are a collection from lacrosse, cross-country as well as Friday night game shirts for the student spirit section at the football games. Most of the shirts have been cut to 12.5″ but a fewContinue

Titanium Shadow Memory Quilt

I love getting to play with my boys’ old clothes by creating memory quilts. I also love that they’ve played on several teams with coincidentally beautiful color schemes. I think my oldest son alone will eventually end up with about 15 different quilts by the time I work my way through everything I have envisioned.Continue
