Make a T-Shirt Quilt

Turn meaningful t-shirts into a quilt! I recently did this with the help of a talented quilter I found on Etsy, and I gave the blanket to my husband and kids for Valentine's Day. I had saved favorite shirts kids had outgrown, shirts from trips, shirts from schools, sports teams and events, and even a baby blanket. The quilt turned out better than I had imagined, and now it lives on the couch in our den. It's fun to have a cozy blanket that reminds us of so many different memories. (Pro tip: If you look for a quilter on Etsy, look for quilts with stitching across the whole shirt, not just around each square. It keeps the stretchy t-shirt fabric from getting baggy.)
