Materials

Designers: Elizabeth Tisinger and Hanna Piepel
Machine-Quilter: Nancy Sharr

General Tips
Because T-shirt logo size can vary widely, it can be tough to fit them into traditional quilt patterns. Use this to your advantage and design a quilt around a special shirt collection.

Materials
15 or more T-shirts with logos
6 or more solid-color plain T-shirts
5/8 yard solid black (binding)
4 yards backing fabric
70x81" batting
10 yards fusible tricot interfacing

Finished quilt: 64x75"
Unless otherwise specified

Quantities are for 44/45"-wide, 100% cotton fabrics. All measurements include a 1/2" seam allowance. Sew with right sides together unless otherwise stated.
