Many quilts are family heirlooms, many more are memory quilts where each block represents a particular memory. With a T-shirt quilt you literally see what you were wearing when something happened! Plus you can add your own touches to the shirt's artwork. What a great idea — T-shirt quilts!

Nothing could get it out, so I just embroidered a flower over it and added a few others here and there to make it look planned. Thanks for the tips. very good idea, Kamala I got a big ink stain on one of my favorite t-shirts once.

There is a thriving resale market in many poor nations for our rejected clothing. A good example are the tee shirts that are printed to give to the winners of major sporting events to waer as soon as the gaem is over. Now, the have to print shirts for both teams and don't want the losers shirts in circulation in the USA. In Africa, it is not uncommon to see shirts like Tampa Bay 2008 World Series Champs. Hi,
