When you said your technique was similar to a log cabin...it clicked ! Thankyou.

I have two grands graduating this year and I’m making graduation quilts for both using their tshirts from pre-K through HS. I absolutely love this idea much more than any of the others I’ve seen.

An interesting way to do the collage process. I think I will try this for my next one. Thanks for sharing.

[@piecesofthepast]

You are so welcome!

Very good explanation. The quilt looks great. Do you quilt with an over-all pattern? Thanks!

[@piecesofthepast]

Yes we did. These quilts lend themselves well to overall edge to edge quilting designs. Great question.

Such a great instruction and demo. Thank you. About to start a collage quilt. Praying I can follow your guidelines.

[@piecesofthepast]

I hope it goes well and please let me know if you have any questions! ~Deborah

Does this technique work if you are using strips in middle of the shirts. ???

[@kathycunningham8394]

Borders around the block is what i mean

[@piecesofthepast]

Yes. You do have his technique one shirt at a time. So, you can border each shirt as needed to fit the space you are trying to fill. It won’t look like a traditional sashed quilt, but o frequently add borders to my shirt panels to get them to a size that I need for that space I am trying to fill on the row. ~Deborah

What interfacing do you use?

[@piecesofthepast]

Hi Linda, I use SF 101 (or a generic version of it) most of the time. It is a light/medium weight fusible interfacing.
