Finished t-shirt quilt |
A client recently had me make her a larger t-shirt quilt. This one had 30 t-shirts versus the usual 20. I had done several smaller ones for her, for her daughters and her husband but now it was time to use her t-shirts. She chose her shirts and sent me a photo of the preferred layout.

I printed out the photo she sent and kept it with the t-shirts. There were a couple of challenging t-shirts in the bunch, one had a yoke in the front with a v-neck so it was more challenging to get the square cut. The other shirt that was a challenge was one that had the picture in the lower left corner. In order to get as much of the picture in the square, I wound up undoing the hem and side seam. This enabled me to get the picture centered as much as possible.

I think this attention to detail is what separates me from the companies where you mail in your shirts and you get back a blanket. As a client you get input into the project and someone who pays attention to detail.
