Sashings and Center of T-Shirt Quilt

I have decided to use grey sashing and maroon corner stones for this quilt; seemed to blend nicely with the all the shirts.  The blocks will be 11 1/2 inches before sashing then I will add 2 inch sashing and the center is roughly 35 inches.  I am not set on my final design yet but I have a pretty good idea in my head how it will look :-)

Here are the sashing colors before cutting, you can see I am going to be using my Accuquilt cutter with the 2 inch strip cutter.

And here is the center all sewn together

These are the small pocket prints that were on some of the front's of the shirts and I hated not using them.

Tomorrow will be squaring up the rest of blocks and adding sashings and hope it works out like the plan in my head :-)  

Will keep you updated :-)

A T-Shirt Quilt

I have been commissioned to create a T-Shirt memory quilt.  I spent a better part of the day cutting and ironing but I am really happy with the progress that is happening.

Some shirts had backs as well so it took some careful cutting but after a few hours and The Mummy for background noise I was left with these

Tomorrow I will cut the sashing and the corner stone and I should be totally read to start sewing on Monday :-) 

All Done :-)

This quilt certainly challenged my math skills or should I say my lack of math skills :-)  I am so happy that it came out as well as it did.  I spent way too much time with the seam ripper.  I will put her up on the frame next week but first I need some time to think of how I want to quilt her.
