I just sat thru 3 complicated hours of video tutorials and you made this so easy in 6 minutes!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

[@zmariedesignzmariedesign2160]

Great to hear!

[@daniellemartin1935]

Ok I LOVE this method! I have watched so many quilt as you go tshirt videos and this one IS IT! THANK YOU!

[@zmariedesignzmariedesign2160]

you are so welcome

[@SH-fi3hz]

Hands down, yours is the very best tutorial I have seen. I also love that you don't film all the parts we don't need to see - like sitting down at your machine and showing us how to sew a straight seam. Assuming we knew enough about sewing in general, already, you simply and directly demonstated the assembly of this quilt. Exactly what I wanted to see. Speeding up the portions of the video showing the prep, cutting, pinning, pressing, etc., also makes the points quickly, and clearly. Wow. I love it. Subscribing to your channel immediately. Thanks so very much.

Thanks S H for your feedback. I am so glad to know you are enjoying my videos.

[@kathykirby164]

I agree, this is the best video for T-shirt quilt that I have watched!!

[@cocodger1346]

I agree - you have made this SO easy!! I had not made a tshirt as you go for three years, and forgot most! Yours was a great video and I'm off to do it!!

[@zmariedesignzmariedesign2160]

You can do it! can't wait to see your finished quilt

[@LorineLo]

This is my absolute first time at quilt making! So, I’ve looked at tons and tons of KZbin quilting videos in the past 2 months to figure out how to make a memory t-shirt quilt. But yours is THE FIRST video that made it all make sense for a newbie with a regular and plain sewing machine! Your “quilt as you go” video made it look attainable! Now that I think that I may have an idea of what I’m doing, I’m going to invest in a lot better sewing machine. Thank you so much for making it simple enough for a complete novice!!

[@zmariedesignzmariedesign2160]

Thanks so much Lorine I am so glad I could help. Can't to see your quilt.

@@zmariedesignzmariedesign2160 - Three months later I completed my t-shirt memory quilt using your method!! My son loved it!! Of course, I could see all of my mistakes but he loves it. I’ll see if I can attach a photograph of it….

[@slowjenzblessedbeyondmeasure]

Thank you for sharing! I've made several t-shirt quilts over the years (as gifts for family). I like getting ideas from several sources. With the exception of skipping the "interfacing" stage, I will be following your design. I know my daughter will love this quilt on her bed. :)

hi love your t-shirt quilt but can you show on video how to sew the tshirts togegther im a beginner so that part i m not sure of thks

[@zmariedesignzmariedesign2160]

Hi Linda yes I will work on a video to show more detail showing how to see the T-shirts together. Thanks so much for watching

[@lisareed5669]

Did you mean you cut the squares to 12 1/2 inches or 12 inches?

[@zmariedesignzmariedesign2160]

Hi Lisa, Yes, I cut the t-shirts at 12 1/2" and the background fabric at 15 1/2" My batting is cut at 12 1/2"

[@marywestfahl2770]

If making the same size quilt, approximately how much backing fabric do we get?

[@zmariedesignzmariedesign2160]

For this size I used approx 2 1/2 yds. I bought a bolt of snuggle fabric. To calculate the size of your backing fabric, download quilting calculator app. Let's you figure out how much fabric to create different block sizes too. Hope this helps.

[@reddd1065]

What is your seam allowance when you attach each block?

[@zmariedesignzmariedesign2160]

Hello, I used a 1/2" seam allowance when I attach the blocks. I hope this helps

[@LorineLo]

What does the quilting calculator look like in the App Store?

[@zmariedesignzmariedesign2160]

The app I use is lime green RK quilting calculator
