In these days of insolating ourselves in our homes, not getting out and finding something to do. We are forced to confront our homes. I don’t know about you but I find cleaning and organizing my home a little mundane… so I am always looking for something to do… use my hands…learn something new.
I had heard about making quilts out of mens shirts and had saved a few, the designs on Pinterest was great and very motivating, besides my husband won’t miss a few shirts. So I set out to take apart some shirts and use the fabric. I did save the collars, buttons and cuffs ( who knows what I will do with them later) I decided to make a quilt throw, since I really didn’t know what I was doing. I ended up doing this really simple triangle pattern ( you can make these without cutting triangles… thank you google) I also make a simple pattern for the back as well. When completed I did take this to a quilter with a long arm machine to add the batting and with an all over pattern quilted it together ( I chose a circular pattern since my design was so angular…figuring that it soften up the design. ) I added a simple border. I wanted a little extra to let people know that this was from shirts II added some of the tags… soo cool. I am excited about how this turned out.
What have you been doing?
