Has anyone ever made a T-Shirt quilt from an entire T-shirt? I have a customer who wants the entire shirt included on the quilt. If you have, how do you do it?
Thanks! Any help will be greatly appreciated

Is your customer wanting the T-Shirt left in one piece?
..... or just wants all the fabric used?
Wouldn't you do it the same as if you were just cutting off the logo (or whatever)?
I'm thinking to cut the shirt apart on the seamlines, to keep all the fabric but the bump of the seams.

I have not made a quilt where full garments were stitched to make a quilt. Sounds difficult but do they mean using the front and backs but cut into squares? If that is the case you could put the fronts on the front of the quilt and the backs on the back of the quilt for a reversible quilt.

Or is he wanting it put on top of the quilt, so you only see the front (or back)?
Or does he want the whole T-Shirt to be the whole quilt?
...... this might be the easier idea, though unless he's a big man, it'll be a small quilt!
