Custom T-shirt quilt

 

Beehive quilt

 

This quilt pattern is super cute, designed by Elizabeth Hartman, called Beehive.  The pattern cover showed zig-zaggy straight line quilting, and so I found a similar computerized pattern called "Brittle" by Lorien Quilting.

Trip Around the World quilt

I'm making this for myself out of t-shirt fabric.  It's fun to put the different colors together & use up things that would otherwise get thrown out.  

These are 4" squares, pieced with the standard 1/4" seam allowance.  The walking foot on my machine made piecing this a breeze, even though the fabric stretches.  

I plan on putting a border around it & finishing it by doing a tacking "X" stitch in the middle of each block.  The shirts would have needed to be interfaced if I was going to quilt it on the longarm.

Trouble with borders?

Are you having trouble getting your borders to lay flat?  Here's a link to a nice explanation, showing how to correctly apply borders. 

http://www.pamsquilting.com/attaching-borders-tutorial.html

Notice how she measures the border along the middle of the quilt body, and cuts to size before sewing it on.  This is the correct method.  If you just sew on the border, and the trim off the extra, it's very likely you will have a way border with too much fabric that will not lay flat. 

Hope this is helpful for you.
