Re-introduction

Hello all,

perhaps some of you will remember me, Ulla from Germany. However, I got married and thus changed my name (it used to be Noeker). Well, for some reason I cannot sleep, and I'll regret sitting up so late at least when my little darling babygirl rises and - cries at 7 a.m. Anyway, while I'm up I can as well do something useful, like asking you about a blanket I plan to make.

I've been collecting t-shirts with print on them for some time, always intending to make them into a blanket. Since I'm terribly lazy sometimes and, moreover, I have a slight feeling that the usual quilting technique won't work on jersey I thought that I'd just cut out the interesting parts I want to save, then stitch them individually onto an old fluffy polysheep blanket (you know the type, I'm sure). The reverse I could cover with some other nice cotton fabric and then stitch through to fix the whole affair. I'm not sure if I expressed myself very clear, and anyway, I've got no concrete idea how this individual thingy is to be managed. Help will be greatly aprpreciated.

Thanks and read you all soon...

Ulla

Hi Ulla,

There was an article about making quilts with tee shirt blocks in a quilt magazine back issue I looked at recently, but I'm not able to put my hands on it now. But yes, what you describe is perfectly feasible. This page seems to give much of the same advice I remember reading:
