Lots and Lots of T-shirt Quilts
One thing I quilt several of last year, yes I’m behind in blogging quilts, is t-shirt quilts. I’ll share 5 of them here, each one has a different design on it. It’s great to see the variety and how great they look!!
Heidi made this one for a friend, if I remember right. She chose Mod Dotz by Patricia Ritter, which is available at Urban Elementz. Click here: https://www.urbanelementz.com/mod-dotz.html
I used my favorite Natural White Omni thread from Superior Threads. I used 8020 batting on each of these quilts, which is an excellent option for t-shirt quilts.
I may have used Mod Dotz once before on a t-shirt quilt I can’t remember…it such a great design. The curves really soften up the hard lines in the blocks .
Shirlene made this one…and several others. She’s a t-shirt quilt master!! She makes them so fast!
She wanted a loopy design, so I chose Going Loopy by Naomi Hynes and it’s available at Urban Elementz. Go to: https://www.urbanelementz.com/going-loopy.html Isn’t that quilty texture so good?!?!!!! It’s fun to think out of the box and add a design on a T-shirt quilt that I typically wouldn’t pick. Now I may suggest it for future T-shirt quilts, especially if it’s for a girl. I love it!
I used a black Omni thread from Superior Threads.
This is another t-shirt quilt that Shirlene made, this one for her son.
I chose my Squared panto design after she requested a more masculine geometric design. Squared has been one of my favorite designs to put on a T-shirt quilt, I’ve done it several times. It looks great every time. It’s available in my shop, click here: https://www.quiltingit.com/shop/p/squared
I used black Omni thread from Superior Threads, and it blended beautifully on all of the different T-shirts. Typically, I do not like dark threads on lighter fabrics or blocks, but with the amount of black on this quilt, it turned out great.
T-shirt quilts are great with minky on the back, too. Flannel and cotton are also a great choice.
Barbara made this fun picture and t-shirt quilt for her granddaughter’s husband.
He even got to choose the design he wanted. He went with Diagonal Plaid by Patricia Ritter, which is available at Urban Elementz. Go to: https://www.urbanelementz.com/diagonal-plaid.html This one is another classic design to put on T-shirt quilts. I’ve put it on several over the years.
I used Light Grey thread from Superior Threads, which blended beautifully.
Look at this fun grunge minky!! If I remember right, it’s one of the 90” wide minkys. It’s fun they are making some patterned minky in the 90” wide. This is like the solid minky without having the additional texture.
Last one, another quilt made by Shirlene!
She requested swirls, so I quilted Twirl on it. Twirl is by Patricia Ritter and me, and is available at Urban Elementz. Go to: https://www.urbanelementz.com/twirl.html
Isn’t mini super cute?!?! I used black Omni thread from Superior Threads.
I hope you enjoyed seeing different designs on different quilts!! I’ve learned while I love the classic designs that I’ve used over and over, it’s great to try new ones too. They look just as great!!
