A great way to recycle t-shirts that you still love but don't really wear anymore is to make a t-shirt quilt.  It'll be one-of-a-kind and each block will be full of memories.  Making a t-shirt quilt is easy and a lot of fun.  Depending on how many t-shirts you have, determines how big of a quilt you can make.  You can see below to see common quilt sizes and then my suggestions for how many blocks you will need.  Even if you don't have a lot of t-shirts, don't forget that you can use both the front and back of the t-shirt, instead of just using the front.  Just make sure that your t-shirts are still in good condition.

Each block is stabilized with interfacing and this will keep your block from stretching and make it much easier to work with.  Each block is bordered by stripping fabric, also known as sashing.  You can make your sashing any width that you choose, I made mine 2 1/2" for a finished 2".  The blocks I did were 10 1/2" X 10 1/2" unfinished, for a 10"X10" finished block.

This demonstration is directions for completing the quilt top section of a t-shirt quilt only.  If you need help with the rest of the quilt assembly, after putting your quilt top together, check out our Basic Block Quilt tutorial.  You can start watching at this point, 10m 15s.
