University of Michigan T-shirt Quilt

August 7, 2014

I’m crafty, but there are some things that I don’t know how to do (yet) and quilting is one of them. One day I would love to learn the art of quilt making but I just can’t take on other hobby right now 🙂 So when my husband wanted a quilt made from his University of Michigan t-shirts, he turned to his co-worker Brenda and her Mom Rexanne for some help. All I can say is WOW! We are over-the-moon about the finished product. No sense in storing all of the old school t-shirts or having them take up drawer space. Turning them into a keepsake quilt allows for them to be showcased and displayed all year round…especially during football season!

Because I didn’t make this quilt myself, I don’t have a tutorial but there are several different online t-shirt quilt tutorials you could follow LIKE THIS ONE. You can also contact the person who made this quilt: Brenda and her mother Rexanne Woodward, owner of The Quilt Girl. Her e-mail is [email protected]. This project was too beautiful not to show off with a series of pictures and I thought it might give some of you quilters some inspiration. So here it is!
The finished piece is approximately 7.5 ft high by 5.5 ft wide.

Happy Quilting! Would love hear your quilting tips and tricks and please post links to some beginning quilting tutorials and/or classes if you know of any!

    Beautiful quilt. I love collegiate items. I am also new to quilting, although I have been sewing for 30+ years. So, not too many tips and tricks learned yet. You should go ahead and try quilting. It is addictive, lol 🙂

    Each graduate is given such a plaid as a sign of graduation. This is such a tradition. You can see how my friend https://forum.zenstudios.com/member.php?2568758-RonaldStevens got such a blanket on his page. This is a really pretty thing. Very interesting thing.

    A very cool corporate blanket from the University of Michigan, but students should first think about education. You can read an essay about the novel “Macbeth” at samples.edusson.com/macbethI think you will be interested. You will also find many essays on other topics there.

    When I see something related to the university, I immediately remember a lot of tasks that I just did not have time to perform. So when I had to write essays, I looked them up at studydriver.com/death-penalty/. There were even essays about the death penalty and it helped me a lot. And most importantly, it’s free.
    But it’s good that the university in my life is over and I probably even wanted such a blanket for myself because it looks very cool.

    The University of Michigan T-shirt quilt is such a fantastic idea and beautifully executed. It’s not just a cozy and practical item, but a brilliant way to preserve and cherish your memories from college. Hope you will write more about quilts in future.

    This quilt is amazing! I love how they repurposed those U of Michigan t-shirts. I once tried to make a simple fabric project and it was a disaster. Can’t wait to check out those online tutorials. Do you think it’s easier to start with a smaller quilt?
