T-shirt Quilt

I've made multiple t-shirt quilts and they get easier each time. First I cut out the shirts and then ironed on a fusible backing to all of the t-shirts before sewing the rows. I make sure to scatter the colors and whites so that it is balanced. Then I sewed the rows together including the pocket rows. There is one layer of batting and the backing is made of flannel material. The fleece backing material can be too thick once the batting and t-shirts are added so I prefer the flannel backing. For the border, I folded over the backing about 2 inches and sewed it all around. I loved how it turned out!
