Finished Gray T-Shirt Patchwork Quilt

The other day, I finished up a project that I meant to get done months ago. I blogged briefly about it last week.
Hooray for Anti-Procrastination Work!

This is a quilt for my daughter ... T-Shirt fabric and fleece - always a winning combination for coziness!

She requested the colors & style. It's a fun, easy semi-random patchwork ... reminiscent of Minecraft's gravel and stone blocks, but not so Minecraft-y as to be too faddish.

I'll be linking this post to this week's Finish It Up Friday at CrazyMomQuilts ... one of my favorite quilt-y blogs, and a fun place to see things others have finished recently ...

Green T-Shirt Squares, Minecraft-Style

I got this quilt top pieced, from green T-Shirt squares. I'm getting it ready to quilt it onto fleece.

For the T-Shirt/fleece combination, I usually like to quilt straight diagonal lines, to minimize the shifting and stretching that sometimes happen when quilting T-Shirts.

This Minecraft-style quilt is almost done ...

This quilt is ready to quilt ... It's for my youngest son, who's a big fan of the Minecraft video game. (This one's made of T-Shirt fabric, backed with fleece ... Super cozy!) I find it fun to put together the bits and pieces that look not only quilt-y, but also Minecraft-y!

Next Up ...

This quilt is next up to be quilted. It's a twin-sized Minecraft-style fleece-&-T-shirt quilt. Probably, it will be for sale on eBay soon.

This is a fun style, and I love the soft coziness of the fleece and T-shirt combination!

Quilting today

I got this little T-shirt quilt (Minecraft-style!) quilted today.

 I quilted the T-shirt quilt top onto a fuzzy fleece backing.

This is a throw-size quilt ... 

About 42" x 52".

More Video-Game Quilts

Lately, I've had fun making a couple of Minecraft-style quilts (see posts here and here).

I'm working on a couple more! Once again, I'm working with T-Shirt fabrics. These quilts will be small, throw-sized quilts - about 45" x 55".

 

Probably, I'll be able to finish these pretty soon. I'm hoping to donate them to the local foster parents' association, to be given to children entering foster care. Maybe, in a small way, a cozy quilt might help to brighten a difficult time in a child's life. I hope so.  

 

Check back in a couple weeks, to see finished pictures ... 

My Second Minecraft-Style Quilt

I finished up my second quilt that's Minecraft-Style. All the "square" graphics are great for patchwork, and my kids have had fun helping me with style/color analysis, since they're my resident Minecraft experts. :-)

 

Once again, this is a fleece-and-T-shirt quilt ... Made from super-soft recycled T-Shirts. Actually, since each of the 12 blocks is made from 100 little squares, this quilt is made from 1,200 little squares!

 

 

It's almost twin-sized ... 60" x 78", so it's a really versatile size.

Update: My oldest son was pretty happy to get this quilt as one of his birthday gifts ...

 

Still coming up with Minecraft Quilt ideas

My next Minecraft Quilt is in the works ... This one's full of tiny little squares, since each 20-inch block contains a hundred little squares. I'm hoping to finish it as a twin-size quilt later this week.

I made a Minecraft Quilt!

I finished this up today!

It's my rendition of a Minecraft Grass Block, seen from the side ... Mostly dirt, with grass on the top.

I had fun making this, and I've got lots of ideas for my next one!

It's a generous twin size, made of T-Shirts, backed with fleece, so it's super cozy.

It's available on eBay for a little while - see this listing.
