The T-Shirt Quilt Book

Carla Hegeman Crim & Lindsay Conner

A dedicated guide to turning a box of old T-shirts into a finished quilt — stabilizing stretchy knit fabric, squaring up printed graphics that were never meant to be pieced, and laying out a design around images of wildly different sizes, none of which standard piecing instruction covers. Aimed at someone making a first memory quilt from concert shirts, team jerseys, or a loved one's closet, not at an experienced quilter looking for a design challenge.
