T-Shirt Quilts - Attractive Variations from Your T-Shirt Stash

  I discovered some really neat ideas for T-shirt quilts at Penny Halgren’s How to Quilt web site.  Penny says:

Create a unique T-shirt Quilt that someone in your family will be proud to show off instead of the same-ole’ T-shirt Quilt like Susie down the street made

Have you saved those old outgrown T-shirts your children wore, you purchased on a trip, perhaps even some you wore in school? 

Penny describes her T-shirt stash that consists of tees from various phases of her and her family’s life.  The memories here are many so you don’t like to toss them out or use them as dust rags.

She also mentions a t-shirt quilt resource, Terrific Tees - I Can’t Believe It’s a T-shirt Quilt! by Roberta De Luz.

Visit Penny’s web site to view photos of some t-shirt quilts.  What have you done with t-shirts for quilts and fabric art?
