Planning your quilt If you are using a pattern, great! Maybe you will be printing photos to fit a certain size or cutting t-shirt logos to fit the pattern. Maybe you are just using the clothing as fabric and will be able to follow a printed pattern. Usually though it is difficult to find a printed pattern that will fit your needs. I like to use graph paper and plan out the t-shirts and special photos or designs that I want and fill in from there. I plan the size and use the graph paper as a template and draw the t-shirt logos or photos on graph paper and then put them on the template an fill in with sashing and blocks.
This is an example of a quilt that used only fabrics so I was able to use a pattern rather than design the quilt from scratch. Mom was a seamstress and had saved fabrics fro
m the dresses she had made for her daughter. Mom was moving from the family home and wanted the quilt made from the pieces of fabric for her daughter's 40th birthday. You can even make the back 
interesting!
