Cool t-shirts become warm quilts

Some of my favorite t-shirts date back to the last century. I don’t really want to get rid of them,  but some are too worn to be worn.  T-shirt quilts are a great way to reuse old t-shirts.  Several companies specialize in making these quilts.  Prices for quilts using 30 to 40 shirts range from $300 to $500.  These companies sometimes offer deals on Groupon and other daily deals sites, so better prices might be available.t-shirt quilt

Or, you can make it yourself.  My parents made this quilt for our daughter using 20 of her old shirts. Each shirt was cut into  a 13 inch square. Additional material was used for a border.   The quilt measures 63 inches by 78 inches.  They also made a pillow out of another t-shirt using the same border.  There are several places online offering step by step instructions on how to make the quilts.
