Has anyone ever quilted together t-shirts?

and how did you do it?

I’ve done this.

I ironed fusible interfacing to the back of the tee shirts, then used a rotary cutter and straight edge to cut them into squares. I sewed 2″ wide sashing between the squares to create horizontal strips and sewed the horizontal stips together into one large piece. Finally, I pinned the whole thing to batting and backing, then outlined each square with the sewing machine. I finished the quilt by sewing wide binding in a contrasting color around the whole thing.

Each tee shirt square was about 14″ because that was the size of the largest logo. The finished quilt, with 15 squares, is large enough for a sofa throw or a single bed.

I used the fabric scraps to sew a drawstring storage bag about the size of a pilllowcase in which to keep the quilt.
