T shirt blanket

Blanket made from favorite t shirts and full size jersey knit sheets.

Items for T shirt Quilt

  1. Make a square frame from cardboard. Use it to adjust location of print of t shirt.
  2. Transfer square. I used a marker.
  3. Sew together each t shirt square to woven cotton fabric, as you would a pillow. This makes an applique.
  4. Remove stitching from fitted corners.
  5. I stitched on matching gray squares from the back of the t shirts to the new openings where the sheet was fitted.
  6. Layout and pin applique t shirt squares to top of the sheet that was fitted.
  7. Top stitch squares.
  8. Lay the new sheet with the appliqued squares face up on the working surface.
  9. Place Flat Sheet on top of previously Fitted Sheet. Then place quilting batting on top. Pin layers together.
  10. Sew the perimeter with a 1 inch seam allowance, leaving a 2 foot opening. It will be inside out.
  11. Turn right side out and top stitch.
