@@susanglynn7189 thank you so much
I’m so so sorry for your loss!
So sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss 💔
Were you reading my mind? I live this. I have 5 grandkids who play every sport. T-shirts are piling up. Love you ❤
I made a t shirt quilt this past fall. My friends husband passed away & I made a memory quilt for her. They traveled a lot & he bought t shirts from the places they visited. It was a very special quilt for me to make.
It’s the perfect Grandma gift for university.
Makes a T-shirt quilt look Classy! You brought it to a whole NEW level! Thanks!
I agree. She’s like a quilt genius.
I am going to make a T-Shirt quilt using the cancer survivor tee shirts both my husband and I have. We are both survivors! I love this pattern and cannot wait to begin making it!
Making a T-shirt quilt for my grandson 's baseball years through his school years. his has no clue I have his t-shirts, SURPRISE !!!! Thank you for all your help with your video.
I have 2 themes. My son was a United States Marine for eight years and is currently in college in the Northeast. He has been collecting tee-shirts from his favorite times and places in San Diego and said since quilting is my passion, when he comes home this summer, he wants me to teach him how it's done. We also have the USMC theme to work on. I am so looking forward to this!
That is so cool that your son is interested in your hobby! I’d recommend he take a peek at some videos posted by The Quilting Marine. He’s a great guy who uses quilting as PTSD therapy... and he has made some guy-friendly quilts. Right now he’s fearlessly working on a New York Beauties quilt. Not overly precise, but *very* colourful & cheerful. I admire him for taking on a non-traditional (for men) hobby. ~Diana K.
@@HRHDMKYT The Quilting Marine is a great TH-camr! Love watching him!
I’ve got the “Soccer Star” grandchild graduating with enough shirts for 6 quilts - I love the way you focused the shirt colors to avoid the “scrap vomit” effect🌟
You probably dont give a shit but does someone know a trick to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost my password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Messiah Roy Instablaster :)
@Elisha Bishop i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Elisha Bishop It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
@Messiah Roy Happy to help xD
I will make a t-shirt quilt from all the shirts I collected over the years of volunteering at a Christian camp. Then I'll have the perfect quilt to use when staying at camp. Thanks for the tutorials.
I made a t- shirt quilt for a friend's son. He is a high school graduate. I used the Attic Window pattern. I think a little like you. I want the quilts that I make a little different. So I thought well a window you look out and see the past accomplishments that he has done in high school. I will try to send you a picture on your blog if possible. Thanks for your tutorials. You give me inspiration.
That sounds amazing!
I would do a “Road-trip” theme for all the college visits we did when my daughter was a rising senior.
I love how the design makes it truly a quilt, not just t shirts sewn together. Perfect!
I've got enough t-shirts to do several different themes - one would be Vermont micro- and nano-breweries; another would be farming with t-shirts from feed companies, the dairy co-ops, fairs, and ag shows; a third would focus on a local institution, the East Charlotte Tractor Parade; and lastly, I believe I have enough t-shirts from when dinosaurs roamed the earth and I was in HS to make one like you did, Angela. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Absolutely love the tutorial I have never done at-shirt quilt. My son-in-law is a rescue/firefighter he gave me all his shirts to make a quilt. I am excited about it now that I have seen your tutorial. Thanks so much.
Now that’s the best t-shirt quilt pattern I’ve seen! My brother wants me to make him one out of his t-shirts, this pattern looks perfect. Thanks. :)
Making a “running memories” out of all of the race shirts we have - both me and my husband run so we have twice as many - I have enough for about 10 quilts - lol! Thanks Angela - I was really worried about making a mess of the memories but with this pattern I’m onto a winner for sure ☺️🏆
Waiting for my grandson to graduate so I can get his t-shirts to make his quilt. Will have to be a long one since he's a sophomore and is already 6'5". His will be a collage style t-shirt quilt. Your son's quilt turned out great.
I have a daughter that is a dancer and she has danced all over ...and has T Shirts from all the different performances....I am sure she will love this style of T shirt quilt.
I would also love to make myself a T-shirt quilt with all my music festival shirts that I have outgrown but are still in good shape to make a quilt!!
My T-shirt quilt theme will be about music using shirts that I collected from concerts and radio stations.
I just got done doing a t shirt quilt I was wondering about how you did with the different colors
A co-worker asked me to make a T shirt quilt for her husband. He's a Dallas Cowboys fan and she says he has so many shirts he can't wear them all. This is a great pattern Angela. I love the flying geese blocks to offset those shirts. Thanks for the video.
My daughter took dance for 13 years....I have all of her T-shirts - hoping to start working on it this year as a Christmas gift
My quilt would use my vast collection of rock concert T-shirts. When I’m finally ready to stop wearing them! 🤣
I saved my son’s t-shirts planning to make him a quilt for 6th grade graduation. Didn’t happen. So I figured 8th grade graduation. Still didn’t happen. High school? Nope. College? Still no. Master’s degree? Not even. The next milestone is his wedding in November. This might work. My theme needs to be “done”!
As a college dropout I know that the conventional track isn't always the best!
Just finished a memory tshirt quilt using my sons best friends tshirts. He was 38 and died from COVID. I love this pattern. Will make a quilt for my husband using his Fire Dept tshirts.
I have searched t-shirt quilts and this is a winner. I’m a huge sports watcher!! KC Chiefs and Kansas Jayhawks being my favorite sports, and of course the Royals. I have enough t’s to make one of each.
I am a huge Connecticut Huskies Women's basketball fan and have been collecting tee shirts for a lot of years. I now live in Tennessee and since Connecticut is verboten here, I don't dare wear any of my shirts. I love your idea of a secondary block for the tee shirt quilt. It would be a great way to enjoy my memories of my team winning all of their 11 national championships without upsetting my neighbors
I have two piles of my husband's t-shirts waiting to be made into quilts - T's from West Point years and 80s concert T's. These have been on my project list for 25 years. Angela's pattern is the first one that appeals!!
Barb Pudelski ; I love the idea ! I hope I can make the triangles so it doesn’t look like a t- shirt quilt. I am making it for my granddaughter. I want to make it more feminine. You are fabulous! Very different. How did you do that fancy quilting?
My son-in-law has been wanting me to make him a t-shirt quilt out of his favourite tees, so of course it would be called “The Favourite”. I’ve been putting him off because I didn’t know how to do it, so now I’m ready to try it! Thanks!
Very cool and not scary. My son played multiple sports and has the mountains of shirts and pinnies that go with. Breaking it down to 12.5" blocks is definitely doable. You go ahead and do the ugly cry-you earned it.
My quilt would be my young grandson’s sports shirts. He lived with us for 11 years and played all sports in football while he stayed with us. He and his mother now live 8 hours away and I so miss those sweet days .
. I want to put some of his shirts together to remember the years of football/ Basketball / baseball games and practices. So awesome that you have done this as I didn’t like the idea of just jumbling them all together. Also, I appreciate your helpful videos on FMQ. I really have had to work hard to work through it as I can’t draw so I tend to be very jerky with some patterns. But I’ll keep practicing. Thanks for all your help .
The theme of my t-shirt quilts would be around my families favourite NFL/CFL football teams and NHL hockey teams as they all cheer for the same teams. Love the look of your T-shirt quilt!
Using sports teams and vacation t-shirts to create a memory quilt for a friend who lost their husband to cancer. It can be emotional at times when I realize the person is no longer with us but happy to do something for the one left behind.
I would make my T-shirt quilt theme all about the Caribbean and the islands my husband and I have been to over the years! The best memories 💕
I’ve worked for the YMCA for over 20 years. My CEO will be retiring in a few years. She’s worked her way up the ranks for over 20 years, too. I’ve saved a lot of event T-Shirts to make a retirement quilt for her. I may need to do a two-sided T-Shirt quilt with all that I have! Thank you for your design idea and making the instructions so easy to follow.
I was a school librarian and have a bunch of book themed T-shirts, this will be perfect for those.
I can't wait to use this pattern to turn all my husbands Tough Mudder T-shirts into something more useful! I mean, there are only 7 days in the week and he has 20 shirts that are just sitting in the drawers, but I couldn't find a pattern I liked. This one is PERFECT.
My grandson is in the Band and I have many great shirts to make his t-shirt quilt with. Love the "band" theme!
I made a t-shirt quilt for my granddaughter using her grade school and high school t-shirts. I wish I had seen this video first. Thanks
Thank you for the tips. A quilt for for 89 year old widower Dad with shirts from his generations from his children to his great grandchildren would be be awesome!
Our family has been volunteering at music festivals and Habitat for Humanity for almost 3 decades so I have a lot of t-shirts to make quilts for our family members and probably a couple to donate for the raffles.
Thanks for the great pattern that will make the t-shirt quilts a bit more upscale looking.
Yeah BAND NERDS! I love your ideas. My daughter graduates next year (2022) and I’ve already told her “Those shirts are mine!”
My T-shirt quilt will be my daughter's childhood.. I'm saving her shirt for all the special events that she is being part of.
I've made this pattern of yours and it was fabulous! A friend didn't have many shirts, but they were special to her, because they were from concerts she and her sister attended. After her sister's death, she asked if I could do something with them, even a lap quilt would be OK. So, I found your pattern, and she still didn't have enough shirts! So, I embroidered sister sentiments on the perimeter blocks in monochromatic colors to the fabrics. I loved that the tshirts stood out, but the embroidered blocks were, 'quieter' and more there just for her. She was so excited with the end result!
Now our oldest daughter has asked me to make one using her high school choir and colorguard shirts.
I have a Motorcycle maniac! Harley and Indian motorcycles. I've got the T-shirts and love your pattern! Thanks for the beautiful quilt ideas!
My son asked me to do a t-shirt quilt using his disc golf t-shirts for his birthday this year. Should be fun!
I have worked in a lot of customer service jobs and over the last 10 years have been collecting all the shirts I get from these jobs to make a cuddle quilt for me and my husband.
My oh my! YOU keep Drakes quilt! What a great idea! I think I’ll make one with the Shawnee Sharks swim team! But wait, my granddaughter’s aren’t old enough yet to have that many ... hmmm. Oh well I’ll wait! Thanks Angela! Your precious:)
Years ago my daughter-in-law asked me to make her a quilt using her Virginia Tech t-shirts. I've been dragging my feet ever since but with this super pattern I'm all for it! Theme? Go Hokies!
I am going to make a memory t-shirt quilt from my brothers stash of country band and travel shirts. He used to be a bus driver for different bands/ country music singers. He died a few years ago and I saved all his collection of t-shirts. I think they would be great gifts for my other siblings.
My husband has been shooting competition clay targets (skeet, trap, sporting clays) for 40 years. As you can imagine, he's got an extensive collection of t-shirts from all the various tournaments. This quilt would be a perfect way to 1. keep the memories from his most successful shoots and 2. thin out his t-shirt drawer to make room for more.
I have so many t-shirts from my dad. He loved going to the casino and has the shirts to prove it. 😂 I would like to make a t-shirt quilt for my daughter, myself, and two nieces. This pattern would be perfect. It will make it look more like a quilt. Thank you for the idea.
This is just what I needed help with! I have been struggling with ideas in making a memory quilt for my future granddaughter-in-law. Her dad has passed away suddenly in September and asked me if I could take his t-shirts and make a quilt for her. Of course I could not say no, but I have never made one before...Yikes! But thanks to you and your creative tutorials, I am so excited! Thank you!! Stay Happy and Crafty. 😊🧵🪡
I would be making a quilt for my neighbor's autistic son; it would represent his guitar playing (Johnny Cash), places he has visited, his high school, his love of animals (dolphins) and how he enjoys working with his dad gardening (John Deere). I have put off making it, it would be my first one, but after seeing your design layout, it has moved up on my "quilts to make" list:) Now it won't look like every other t-shirt quilt pattern I have seen. Thanks Angela!
My tee shirt quilt will be about Boy Scout camp. Each year my grandson has received camp tee shirts. No one enjoyed camp like my grandson and now he is a BS camp counselor. Love your Chanel.
Angela, I'm right there with you. My last 2 graduate this year! 2 prom dresses, 2 sets of senior pictures, 2 vehicles for collage and just like that the nest will be empty. I'm sharing that ugly cry with you girl!
Both my kids are musical so I would definitely make a music or band quilt. Sports held no interest for them but as soon as you place a musical instrument in their hands, they are in heaven!
My quilt would also be a senior gift! My daughter is graduating this year too and I am also going to be crying pools of tears 😭 What an adventure it has been
Right!?!? It doesn't even seem possible
I have lots and lots of upcycled t-shirts from national parks that have worn out over the years. I'd love to combine them like this and put a national park panel pieced back with it. Thanks for all you do!
My daughter’s Challenge soccer career - As a goalie her shirts have had some wear!!! She just retired from her adult career and would love to surprise her with all the shirts I saved and hid!!
My grandson is 11 and in football right now. Who knows how many other sports/activities he could be in until he graduates from high school. Maybe there will be enough T-Shirts for me and him a quilt! Great idea for the pattern! You are amazing! Thanks for sharing!
I have been wanting to do a basketball themed t-shirt quilt for my Goddaughter who played on her university team. Thanks for a great tutorial.
My theme is years of school sports. Two left in high school to graduate, man it goes fast. Love your T-shirt quilt 😊
Love the setting on the Tee shirt quilt. My daughter is 28 years old and keeps asking me when I'm going to make her tee shirt quilt! She played soccer in elementary school and field hockey in high school. So, that's my theme. I'm motivated!!
I actually have two t shirt quilts I want to make.... actually I think need is more the word. I am getting my fathers shirts. I lost him 4 years ago and want to see him again so bad and think a t shirt quilt would help me so much. The other is a quilt with my husbands and my old military unit shirts and uniforms to help us remember all of our years serving this AMAZING country!!!!
I have 3 grandchildren. The quilts would be Irish Dance, Soccer and Scouts. I love the way you did the quilt.
I have a TShirt quilt for my daughter I made 12 years ago and NEVER quilted...I'm going to take it apart and start over now that I've seen this very informative video I'll make it work..Love it
Thanks Angela
I am making one for my daughter. It is mostly high school and church. She left me with so many shirts all I had room for was a small boarder between the shirts. She loves yellow and sunflowers so I am doing the boarders in yellow and quilting sunflowers in it! A lot of work but it is looking great!
Also my husband was so nice! He bought me a press. It saves so much time!
My son wants a quilt and I think this would be a great idea! His quilt will have a variety of T shirts.
Like you, I also have one graduating this year so the theme will be high school shirts. And yep, pretty sure I'm gonna be bawling too.
My quilt would be for my husband and it would be using National Park T shirts from all our travels! Great job Angela
I have to make a t-shirt quilt for my son. We’ll be making it with lots of different shirts, a random theme. Thank you for this video. 😁
My quilt, or quilts, really would be memory quilts out of my husband and my race and nerdy and Comic-Con and family trip T-shirts. Something they can grow up cuddling and then, when they’re older, can see us in and remember how much we love spending time together.
my husband's Harley Davidson tees! He'll love it! I love this pattern for tshirt quilt, not just the basic layout!!!
Rolling Stones ! I have the shirts and I love your pattern. Your pattern creates a quilt with a design instead of looking like organized laundry!
My daughter barrel races. She has been adding her association T-shirts to a tote as she out grows them. I love how you transformed a t-shirt quilt into something more appealing!! I need to see if we have enough to get started.
OMG! A friend of mine gave me a small bag of t-shirts to make her a quilt. I have been too chicken to cut the shirts. But after watching this video I am feeling excited to get started on it!
I would use my son Kevin’s band t-shirts. And his school colors were purple and gold. He will be 32 next month and has commented several times over the years that I should make a quilt out of his band T-shirts but I never liked any quilts I saw. I love this one!
My T shirt quilt would be using my husband’s motor cycle shirts. I’ve been saving them for years, but this is the first pattern I’ve seen that I like.
I have several swim team and assorted other shirts from my second child. That will be my next t-shirt quilt. I have always done a very eclectic process with t-shirt quilts, but I really like yours with the setting blocks. Thanks for the inspiration. It wouldn't hurt my feelings to win your kit!
We have been band parents through two kids' time in middle and high school. Your main color was purple, ours is black and gold. I would love to make this with our t-shirts! Thank you for the tutorial!
I've made this quilt twice and love it. My next would be for a friend, his late mother's shirts
My t-shirt quilt is going to be using my teacher shirts from my 25 years of teaching science. Excited to put it together.
I made a concert T shirt for my youngest son, wish I had seen this pattern before but now I need to make a T shirt quilt for my oldest using his "music theater" shirts. Ill be using this pattern for sure.
Yes!!! Just in time for me to make the promised quilts for my niece and nephew!!! Volleyball and golf. Just cut the first one out!!!!
I have made 2 t shirt quilts. Promised myself that I wouldn't make anymore. But after watching your video, I may reconsider!
Will be using all my Diving T shirts..........so many memories of my travels to beautiful underwater destinations .........one day I hope to be able to travel again 🐙🐡🦑🐠🐋
Mine would be a supportive memory quilt from all the T-shirts I have acquired from our two daughters’ activities including But not limited to cheerleading, Dance, gymnastics, softball, theater, after prom, Nursing program, sorority, etc. where mom and dad supported our girls by buying tshirts!! :) I love the idea of the design that you’ve Created. I can’t wait to use it
The flying geese blocks are the best and your right about the tshirt quilt looks a lot classie. I love the look and will do one for my bro with shirts 20 years old 😂😂❤
My husband and I have a Harley Davidson shirt from all of the dealerships that we have visited - and we
've outgrown some of them so...trying this quilt!!!
I used this pattern for my son’s T shirt quilt. He and I both LOVE it
My husband has been asking me to make him a T-shirt quilt from all his old Metal Band T-Shirts he has not let me throw away. With your instructions I may just tackle it!
I have saved all of my oldest son's Muscular Dystrophy camp t-shirts since he was 6 years old. I have been wanting to make a quilt with them, but just haven't been brave enough to start it. I definitely need this kit!
My Dad passed last summer. I will use the few shirts I saved for this. A memorial and remembrance. Excellent idea and pattern. Thank you.
I was a teacher for 25 years. The last 15 years I taught at one of the schools I attended. It was a Junior High, back in the day. I will use my Dodge City Middle School Cardinal shirts to make a quilt as a fund raiser for the school.
I would love to make a T-Shirt quilt of my family. It would be so comforting.
Love how this came out - great idea!
I saved both my boys 4h shooting sports t-shirts. They would be great with this patterns. Haha they have only been out 9 and 10 years. But I bet they would still love it, would bring back great memories!
