THERE ARE JUST 2 EASY STEPS TO GET STARTED!
1. Select your shirts
Consider a theme, such as athletics, high school, college, concerts, sorority / fraternity, vacations, or hobby.
Consider the condition of each shirt and how important it is to you. If it is very worn out, you may or may not want it to be in your quilt. Is the design one that you will want to see in your quilt for years to come? "Wicking" shirts and sweatshirts can be used.
Consider the colors of your shirts. Lots of colors are good. All white is good. All white with 1 or 2 colored shirts is not going to be as interesting.
Shirts need to be clean. If they are new shirts, I suggest washing them to prevent colors from bleeding and allow shrinkage before it is in the quilt.
The number of shirts and the size of their designs will determine the size of the finished quilt. The following table will give you an approximation of the size you can expect based on the number of shirts you have. I cannot give you an exact size of your quilt until the shirts are cut.
