Project description

I have a big box of my son's old T-shirts and baby onesies that I can't bring myself to throw away, and I would like someone to turn them into a proper hand-sewn patchwork quilt we can actually use on the bed rather than let sit in storage. The shirts span from newborn size through about age seven, plus a couple of concert tees and sports jerseys that carry a lot of memories, so the order and placement of the squares matters to me. I am looking for a skilled hand who works with patchwork piecing specifically - cutting the fabric into even blocks, stabilizing the stretchy knit pieces so they do not warp, and hand-quilting the layers together rather than machine-binding everything in a way that looks mass produced.

This is meant as a sentimental keepsake, so I care more about craftsmanship and a personal touch than speed. I would like to discuss the layout before cutting begins, since some of the shirts have graphics I want kept fully visible and centered in their block, and a few faded ones I would rather place along the edges. A soft cotton batting and a plain backing fabric in a neutral color would suit our home best, but I am open to suggestions from someone experienced in this kind of memory quilt work.

Please only reach out if you have prior examples of hand-sewn patchwork quilts made from garments, since working with old jersey knit fabric is quite different from quilting cotton yardage.

— Interfacing or stabilizing stretchy T-shirt fabric before cutting
— Roughly 30-40 squares arranged in a layout we approve together beforehand
— Hand-quilted stitching through all three layers, not just machine topstitching
— Finished size suitable for a twin or full bed as a lap or bed quilt
— Soft batting and a durable, colorfast backing fabric
