Got more to clean out than a few t-shirts? So do hoarders. Watch the drama of ridding an entire house of stuff on Gutted.


T-shirts help tell the story of our lives. Whether they come from concerts, sport events, or groups we belong to, a favorite old shirt can bring back fond memories. If you have t-shirts that you no longer wear but can't bear to give up, make a quilt with them. Here are some examples of t-shirt quilts to inspire you.

1. Musical Memories
Remember your favorite concerts and bands with this musical themed quilt.

2. Play Ball!
Here's a baseball team member's quilt. Some of the shirts were too small or oddly sized, so some creative solutions were in order.

3. Two Sides to Every Story
This two sided quilt has school related shirts on one side, and outside interest shirts on the other.

4. School Pride
Celebrate your glory days with a quilt consisting of shirts from your high school and college years.

5. Mix It Up
Take all your old shirts, no matter what the theme, and stitch them together. This quilt uses a sheet found at Goodwill for the backing.
