There have been so many books written about T-shirt, autograph and photo quilting lately. It is such the rage. If you have never read about these types of quilt, this is one you could pick up.

But, if you are like me, and read any and every quilting book you can get your hands on, I would not run right out and buy it. It wasn't until page 34 of this 47 page booklet that my interest was caught. The quilt titled MY SISTER, MY FRIEND held my attention because of the appliqué on the outside border. It was a photograph quilt made up of star blocks. The saving grace was the appliqué.

There are four pages of basic quilting instructions. Each project has a materials list, cutting instructions and the how-to of assembling the quilt. If a template is needed, it is also included. There are "tip" boxes scattered throughout the book with ideas such as different color options or a theme suggestion. All in all, this is a good book for anyone who is just starting in the T-shirt, photograph or autograph quilts.

The book was exactly what I needed to help me get started on my tee shirt quilt. It gave all the details I needed.

This is exactley what I have been looking for. This will be my first quilt for my son and one for my daughter. The t-shirts were my husbands and I had so many t-shirts I couldn't throw them away. someone mentioned making a quilt, this book goes from A to Z with instructions and has various options. It's great!

There are multiple patterns to use with t-shirt quilts, as well as photos. I can't wait to try one of these quilts!
