As I posted early this week I am working on a T-shirt quilt for my aunt. This is my first T-shirt quilt I have ever made. I got the stabilizer on and cut the squares 12-1/2”.
After laying out the quilt, as you can see Louie had to have his say on what should go were. There are 12 squares with 3 across and 4 rows down.
I called my aunt to see if she might have any more T-shrifts so I can change the layout to 4 across and 4 down, but she is out of town right now, so I guess I will start on another project until she returns.
What I did help with is should I put sashing in between the blocks or just stitch it with out sashing and just boarder it? Please leave a comment and let me know.
Thank you for your help.

If it were me, I would sash it and put a border on it too. I am working on a similar quilt for my kids for Christmas. Yours looks good so far!! Have a great evening!
ReplyDeletei, too, would put both sashing and border ... it would separate the different backround colors, making each an individual block. i made mine 4 by 5 blocks; 4by4 would have made a square. if your auntie doesn't have the four more, add some of yours that she would recognize.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a sashing and borders, it would give each block a chance to take a bow. If your aunt doesn't have any more shirts, how about making the top and/or bottom borders a little wider than the sides? You could even add a pieced row in the bottom border, or do something like you did for the family tree quilt.
ReplyDeleteSmashing and borders yes. Visit my blog for ideas.
ReplyDeleteI too like sashing and borders. It fills it out. You might re-arranging too. Nice job! What stabilizer did you use?
ReplyDeleteYes to sashing and border... it will help combat the stretchiness and make the quilt larger. Hubby loves his t-shirt quilt. He says it's so darn cozy!
ReplyDeleteI would put sashing and a border. I think sashing would really bring out the design of each t-shirt.
