Ha, yes the dresser is from goodwill. Aperantly the only place you can find those dressers. :) I agree, we all need to hang out. We just all need to find a time that works with all our crazy scheduals.
While they are relatively easy to make, it does take quite some time and materials can really add up. That's why most t-shirt quilt making websites would charge anywhere from $300 to $500 for a quilt that size. Well that and the fact that they know they can rip people off :( I would charge $70 for a quilt this size without sashing or $100 with sashing. That does not include materials or shipping.
Materials~ needed: Backing Fabric and batting (fluffy stuff you put in between the front and back to make it warm) optional: interfacing, border fabric and sashing fabric
Or, to save money on materials you could have a t-shirt blanket. Instead of having batting, border fabric and backing fabric it could be just fleece or flannel on the back, t-shirts on the front and nothing in between.
You could buy the material yourself and mail them along with your shirts or I could buy them for you and I'd obviously only charge you exactly how much they cost.
In case you had no clue what I was talking about: *Sashing: is when you have strips of fabric (a border) in between each square/shirt. This quilt does not have sashing, this one does: http://www.creativequilts.com/photos/tshirtstandardlg.jpg *Interfacing is like another fabric that you iron onto the back of the shirts to make them stiffer.
what about no filling and just backing it with more tshirts. so its reversible? would that still be 70 or more? I dont want any sashing or interfacing.
