Over the weekend, I finished my Hard Rock Cafe T-Shirt Quilt! In high school, I collected these shirts and enjoyed wearing them. After a while, I retired them, but saved them for a quilt one day.
I designed this quilt using Excel. Surprisingly, it came together exactly as I planned. All the fabric came from Joann's. I had no idea what color would match these bright shirts, but the batiks seems to go perfectly.
For the back, I used zebra print to balance the bright colors but still keep it wild.
I still need to make a label for it. I'll post it soon.
My sister has given me a bunch ofher old shirts that would like made into a quilt. It's on the list! Yours looks great!
ReplyDeleteAre the t-shirt squares appliqués to the batik or did you piece the batik to the t-shirt squares to make larger squares to sew together. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteI put the shirts on a stabilizing mesh and then pieced them like normal. There was only one piece that was interesting to sew. The rest was pieced in blocks. Thanks for stopping by!
