This was a one day project that I really enjoyed. (Thank God for my serv= er, otherwise, this never would have been so quick!) Being the high school = dork that I am, I have had a lot of chances to gather a collection of old t= -shirts, many from various plays, years of marching bands, debate teams, et= c. Other ones are just cool t-shirts that i still liked but had too much se= lf-respect to wear them out in public.
I saw some crafter article about a company that would make quilts out of= your old t-shirts. Why pay money when you can pull your own hair out inste= ad? It was actually easy, found my 20 t-shirts and cut 16 inch squares from= each one. Then I used my serger to make 5 squares into a strip, then my 5 = strips into a 5x4 quilt.
I bought some green (you know I loves my green!) flannel with white polk= a dots for the back. Being a smallish quilt, i was able to attache the back= myself by doing the edges with my server and then top sticking on the seam= s. The entire thing is stuffed with this bamboo batting that Is really soft= . I washed it before hand to "pre-shrink" or so I thought. It tur= ned into a lint-monster, but the whole quilts seems to have lasted better f= or it.
