This is a tshirt quilt for my boyfriend, it’s u hi is late father’s motorcycle tshirts, and I’ve been piecing it together all day…Todd came in here a few hours ago and has been making sure no one (besides him) messes with the arrangement 😅 it’s fine tho bc he accepts the fee of letting me inhale his fur very deeply 😂
He’s helping as much as he can. 🐈⬛
Yes very helpful, especially when he lays on top of two rows at the same time and I can’t move them bc that would be illegal 😂
Universe forbid the Cat Law would need to have words with you. LOL
HMMMMM looks like manager is sleeping on the job. Time to clock out!!
Oh yeah definitely sleeping on the job, but he’s the Top Dawg if you will, so it’s in his contract 😂
Forgot to ask in the description:
What was your first quilt, and how did it turn out?
I’ve technically made crochet blankets before, but I know those are afghans, not quilts 😅
Ah Todd...definately sleeping on the job. But such a cutie. The first quilt that i made was a lap size that I put on the side of my couch for my dog to lay on. When the woman at the fabric store asked me what i was making and why, she looked at me like I had lost my mind!!
😂😂😂 that’s so funny! Doggo quilt?? I love that!! I’ve crocheted a few things for our cats, and I have a ton of fabric I inherited from my grandma, so I might make a quilt for the fur babies just for fun 🥰
If you wanna try out patterns or blocks or get rid of material you're not really liking, pet shelters and foster parents of fur babies would probably love little quilted pads. They could act as scent soakers that go with the furbaby to their new home. :D

That’s such a great idea!! There’s so much extra fabric from the backsides of the shirts! I’ll def keep this in mind when I have a larger scrap collection!
Glad to plant a seed. :D
Remember to do the stitching all the way around the edges of each block you've cut to minimize pulling when you stitch them together and to stop the woven stitched from undoing themselves like pulling a yarn in a sweater.
I think it's gonna be great. :D
Oooo, that’s smart, good to know! Thank you! 😊
I have some lightweight interfacing on the back of each design! I’ve been watching so many quilting videos the last few months before starting bc I was absolutely terrified of damaging any of his dad’s tshirts 😅
Probably unnecessary, but I also put interfacing on the back of the quilt blocks I’ve made since taking this picture, I’ll definitely add an update photo after I finish 🥰
Thank you again for the advice, I might do that the next time I make one of these (bc of course I’m already thinking of others)
Happy to help. :) The light interfacing was a genius move. ;)
Yeah, get used to that 😹
Oh for sure 💯 today I was leaned over the bed to seam rip a spot that was bothering me and he thought that meant cuddle time…then proceeded to try and play with the seam ripper while he was laying on my arms 🫠😂 he’s so stinking cute tho
