Tee Shirt Quilt – Part Three
I am so excited to have put a big dent in my tee shirt quilt this past week! I had an extra day off of work (today), so that has helped out a lot.
Here’s where I stand so far:
All tee shirts have had interfacing applied, and all quilt pieces have been cut and all vertical columns have been sewn together.

I have the first two columns on the left side sewn to each other. Here’s a pic of them folded over so you can see a bit of the back as well.

Here are a few notes at this point in the process:
~Pay attention to the stretchiness of your denim fabric. Some of my jeans had more stretch in them than other pairs.
~Don’t forget to swap out your sewing machine needle for one made to handle heavy duty fabric. I’m using a 16, and it seems to be doing very well.
~I sewed back and forth a few times across areas where four pieces of fabric meet, just to add a little more strength in those seams.
~Don’t forget to press out the seams.
That’s all for now. Hopefully, I’ll finish up in the next week, and we’ll get to see the finished product!
**Special Note:
This past Monday was my dear hubby’s birthday! He is such a a wonderful husband and friend, and daddy (to our puppies!). He’s a good son, a hard worker, a man of God, and I am proud to be his “missus”.
Happy birthday!
