I have a question for the ladies that quilt

[LynnieB]

I saved alot of my sons favorite t-shirts and wanted to make them into blanket for him. Is this maybe a project that will be done in the future here? Or could you point me in the direction that shows/tells you how to do this? Is this an involved project for a beginner? Thanks for any help here.

LynnieB - it depends on what type of pattern you want to use to do this.

T-shirts aren't easy to work with, but it can be done. If its a simple pattern, then it shouldn't be too hard for a beginner.

To be honest though, its not something I would suggest for a beginner. I would do one with cotton material first, even if its just a small wall hanging and experiment a bit, then go with the
t-shirts and make a quilt.

What a neat idea though for your son.
