My youngest son loved Dragon Ball Z when he was younger. In fact, he still likes Anime cartoons. He has a collection of figurines, shirts and t-shirts from Dragon Ball Z. Back a least ten years ago he asked if I would make him a t-shirt quilt with his Dragon Ball Z shirts. Of course I made him one.
It was my first t-shirt quilt that I made. Although it was pretty simple to make there was a lot of extra calculating since I used different size blocks. I found some appropriate cotton fabrics to border the t-shirt cut outs. It came out perfect. My son was excited when I gave it to him.
Today I went to his house to feed his cat and saw his Dragon Ball Z quilt on his couch. He still has it and uses it to cuddle up with. It's held up great. I couldn't resist to take a picture so I could share it on this blog.
For the t-shirt blocks I not only used the fronts of the shirts, but also cut-outs from the backs. I quilted it on my regular sewing machine (I didn't won a longer quilter at the time). I like the black and red Ninja fabric that I bordered it with and used for the backing.
I would like to make another t-shirt quilt with a different theme. I'll have to dig through my closets.
