Happy Halloween Mimicat... There is a lot of info out there on how to make a t shirt quilt.
Type t-shirt quilt in the search box at the top of this screen and you will find several shows
to watch. Type T-shirt tutorials you tube in your google search bar and you will get a bunch more.
Can you be a little more specific, like how many t-shirts you have or maybe a picture of them
laying on the floor. HelenW

Hi Mimicat, Don't be afraid just do it. I made two in 2021 and I'm happy with both. My biggest takeaway is to plan. Not all tee shirt images are the same size (or at least mine were not) so it took a lot of planning to get length and width to come out even. I cut up the tee shirts leaving as much fabric as possible. I had to use some of the extra fabric to make small images into bigger blocks. Stabilize the images before you make your final cut - you want stabilizer on the entire block. I am not a machine quilter and I made the mistake of hand quilting the Basketball quilt. I quilted the blocks and then sewed them together. The second Car quilt I machine quilted each block and then put together. My brother says the car quilt is to heavy to sleep under so think about the batting if it is to be used on a bed. This is a few thoughts on my experience making a Tee Shirt Quilt. Sandy
