How practise y'all piece a tshirt quilt of different sized blocks???
I'm stumped! I'm making a quilt for my grandson from his lacrosse penneys, jerseys, t-shirts, etc. The pieces from each of the shirts are all dissimilar sizes, and so it won't piece of work to accept traditional rows and columns. I've looked on line and seen tons of these kind of quilts. In many of them I can come across they added to the main pieces until they actually did accept fifty-fifty rows or columns or built them into sub blocks that would fit together. Yet, I can't figure how they pieced some of them. Below is a link to one I couldn't effigy out. Scroll down a ways to see the quilt. Can anyone explicate how it's washed? Cheers.

I cut shorts in any number that was divisible past three (plus ane/2 inch seam allowance. For example, I would cut a shirt 9 i/two by 6 1/two and another 12 1/2 by 12 i/2 and another 3 1/2 by 12 1/2 etc. I cut a ton of shirts based on the size of the shirt design. So I moved them around until they fit together. I will run across if i can find a pix.

Great idea! Cheers. I notice that you managed to continue each cake (or multiple blocks) in each column the aforementioned width. I don't know if I can finesse that. Simply I'll endeavour! I similar your quilt, likewise!

I added fabric to each T-shirt until they were the same width and so sewed columns. The shirts are all from wheel events, so I used a bicycle print for the sashing. This is the front and the back.

You could accommodate the shirts the manner yous desire them and any gaps only put in fabric to fit. You could print his name, name of school, yr or event, etc. on the strips of fabric.

If the blocks aren't uniform in size, maybe using fabric from the backs of the t-shirts to create a edge.... and so they could exist even so big you desire.

Hey, I see a few from Colorado, where I alive! I accept been thinking about that. On many of the shirts there is quite a bit of fabric left I could use. I've besides got a few pair of the wild lacrosse shorts that I could use. I really love the cycle cloth you lot used in the sashing. Like y'all did, I programme on piecing both the back and front. I'll use his numbers on the back. Cheers for the tip!

I did one (even so a UFO) for my daughter... will try to find the link I used. You measured them all, then drew them on graph newspaper and rearranged until you lot liked it. I have found that information technology used a lot of "short seams" that were more challenging to sew together (at that place weren't a lot of long straight seams) but I liked that it used "frames" to make information technology cohesive

Some are assembled using a fractional seam. Which means you sew merely part of the seam between two units until you can attach another unit to brand the seam even. Here is ane of many tutes I found by googling "Partial seam in quilting"

Some other technique is using sashing to course fill pieces like I did on this quilt. I used a shadowbox layout and so I could have varying sizes of sashing and fill up pieces and so I assembled the quilt in quadrants.
