Patchwork Quilt from Children's T-Shirts and Dresses

This archival project turns outgrown children's T-shirts and dresses into a warm, lightweight patchwork quilt. Blocks in several techniques were combined into a personal keepsake.

The work took considerable time, and the maker was pleased with the result—as was her daughter.

If a handmade quilt is used by a child, independently check its condition, fabrics, seams, appliqués, and care needs. This archive post does not establish suitability for any particular child, age, or sleep setting.
