| Finished quilt |
I had the daughter of a friend of mine reach out to me to make her a couple of t-shirt quilts. I had done part of one from her high school t-shirts awhile ago and now she had some college t-shirts and work t-shirts. The first is from her college t-shirts. She wanted fabric in between the t-shirts and also wanted it to be quilted and have a binding.

| General idea for layout |
My first step is to cut the t-shirts apart and then get a general idea for a layout. There were several shirts that had only a small chest logo, so I combined those together to make a block for one column. I found some great batik fabric at JoAnn's for the sashing and a coordinating solid for the backing.

| Three small logos combined |
After determining the general layout, I fused interfacing to the backs of the t-shirts to stabilize them and then cut them to size. For some of the blocks, I used both the front and the back to make a larger block.

| Back with the quilting pattern |
After assembling the front, I took it to a quilter for her to do a meandering stitch to hold the layers together. I then stitched the binding to the back, brought it around to the front and top-stitched it in place.
