This is the quilt so far using a striped shirt.
 |
| Cut the front of the shirt into strips from hem to shoulder. |
 |
| Cut the back of the shirt across from side to side. |
 |
| Sew the strips together in twos |
 |
| Then press them and cut them so you have two squares sewn together. |
 |
| Turn them & sew them like this so you have four squares sewn into a block. |
Next I'm adding a border to each block, I'll post pics when I've done it.

I love some scrappy quilting x
I am just finishing a "gifted and thrifted" quilt for a prizedraw. I stupidly decided to handquilt it as my machine has seen better days. Thank goodness it's nearly finished as I have corns on my thumb and middle finger! It's made from shirting and sheeting and bits and pieces. I hope the winner likes it as it has ended up being 72x72-I do it every time! Catriona
Scrappy is best, I have a case of shirts waiting to be deconstructed, it will be next year I think.
