apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I want to like it for the concept...repurposing materials is great, but...I just find it gross.

I like the use of different size rectangles. I did an appliqué style quilt using tee-shirts.

Inspirational to see a finished T-shirt quilt. We have a tub of unworn t-shirts from clubs/events we were a part of in college (unworn, or worn once, because they never fit right). It's labeled "T-shirts for quilt." Someday I hope I actually get the quilt made.

Excellent how-to here - http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=316881.0

For those that just cannot depart with their tee shirts, you know who you are.. here is a good way to keep them without the stacks and stacks in your drawers.

I've been meaning to make one of these for ages (and have the bags of old t-shirts to prove it). Thanks for the inspiration to get started!

second modernnests' notion of grossness outweighing concept. jersey knit just isn't an incredibly interesting fabric, both aesthetically and functionally, so the design should have been executed pretty jazzy to have made it work.

I like the idea, but the execution is off. This just looks sloppy. Making the pieces equal sizes or trying to do something interesting in terms of shape, etc. would look a lot better than just sewing random pieces of fabric together.

I've made probably 15 or so quilts and have never tried a tshirt quilt...jersey is a lot harder to work with than muslins and other quilt fabrics. I've cut up old clothes for use in quilts, but not tshirts.

my aunts just finished a quilt for a young lady whose mother passed away recently. they made it out of her mom's t-shits and other pieces of clothing. not only is it of sentimental value, but it looks great too. it will be going to college this fall!!

yuck
