I bought 6-1/2 yards for this project (sashing, border, backing). All I have left are pieces from the border, totaling about 1 yard, and two 2-1/2" strips of sashing.
There wasn't enough backing fabric so I inserted an 8" extender.
I outlined the flowers to quilt the border.
I'm adding this to the lime green projects at So Scrappy !

The lime is beautiful! I always procrastinate t-shirt quilts too, but they are always so loved once they are done.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a great finish and on your very proficient quilting motifs!
ReplyDeleteAnother T-shirt Quilt procrastinator here! I've got two more in the works right now. We'll see how it goes! Yours turned out beautifully, "blooping" or not.
ReplyDeletelooks good, I haven't done a t-shirt quilt yet but I can see the challenge
ReplyDeleteProcrastination is also called 'waiting until the project ages sufficiently' -- or 'waiting for inspiration' -- or 'enjoying the THINKING portion of the process'... Is blooping a technical term? I love it -- LOL! The finished product looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteBut the t shirt quilt looks so good. I love the bright green and floral with the shirts. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric......... works perfectly with the blocks....... I liked the layout also...... Someone else has asked me to make a T-shirt quilt....... I plan to cruise the net for layouts......... The one I just finished had been started by someone else so I used what I had........
ReplyDeletelooks terrific from here....i'll bet it does in person too....
ReplyDeleteT shirt quilts are not a favorite of mine either. I like how you pieced the backing. The lime and gray looks great together. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteT-shirt quilts have their place in the world but I can't say I would enjoy making one. Kudos to you for completing this one (and its' predecessors)!
ReplyDeleteThe front is great, but I really love the extended on the back!
ReplyDeleteI am working on my first ever t-shirt quilt with my s-I-l as a remembrance of her daughter. Her favorite color was green and I love what you used on yours. Quilting around the flower shapes is a fun idea, and I think your quilt looks great! Pieced backings are so fun but I don't like working on them. :) Thanks for linking up to MCM - I hope you're having a great week!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job!! Tshirt quilts are NOT my favorite.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a fun finish! I may be making my first t-shirt quilt soon, at the request of a wonderful niece...wish me luck!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThe quilt looks great. Love the floral and the lime green. I have at least 2-3 in my future. My daughter has so many t-shirts. We spent an evening going thru them trying to decide which ones to use first.
ReplyDeleteI piece all my backings.
thanks for sharing your quilt
