Boy/Girl Twin T-shirt Quilts

 

Finished boy quilt

     These quilts were a major undertaking.  Not only were there t-shirts for the quilts but a wrestling uniform, a swimsuit, baby blankets, baseball jerseys and more.

Baby blanket 

Wrestling uniform

Baseball jersey with patches

     The client also wanted them to be 90" x 90" finished size with a fabric border.  Fortunately I have a quilter that is up to the challenge of working around buttons and patches.

School uniform shirts

Home Depot apron

Baseball pants with a hole in the knee

     There were also multiple school shirts that I cut smaller to get just the logo and then joined them to make a larger block.  There was lots of math involved to get the right size.

Girl's finished quilt

     The girl's quilt included three different school skirts that I cut to form a larger block.  Her mom also included a tank top and a pair of capris that her daughter wore as an outfit almost every day one summer.

Swimsuit

Summer outfit

School skirts

          I also had school shirts for her that I cut the logos from to form another larger block.  The backs are flannel.  The boy's quilt had a cotton fabric binding but I couldn't find a good color in a cotton fabric to match the backing flannel on the girl's quilt.  I used the flannel for the binding on hers.  It was a bit harder to work with as it is a heavier weight fabric than quilting cotton.

School shirts

     Glad to have these finished.  Next t-shirt quilt that I have to do is all baseball t-shirts and jerseys.
