T-shirt quilts have always been difficult to make look good. No longer! Martha has mastered the art of stabilizing all kinds of stretchy fabrics to corral the quilt top into straight lines. She then uses a 'Comparative Quilt Design Chart' to show how to artfully arrange blocks of various sizes into a visually pleasing whole. Use Martha's finished quilts as jumping-off points to design unique presentations of precious mementos that are precut-friendly.

The author presents a new way to approach T-Shirt quilts. A must have for your quilting library. There are many great ideas on quilt lay outs included in this book, several utilizing pre-cuts such as charm squares and 2 1/2 strips. Several tips and techniques are offered regarding sewing the t-shirts together to have the best result. Highly recommend!

- T-Shirt Quilts Made Easy — Review by Kathie R Kerler
- The author offers a variety of tips and techniques in working with t-shirts, including how to incorporate curves. But the best part of this book is the number of imaginative settings beyond the typical Nine-Patch layout. Of particular note are the asymmetrical block designs. (Posted on 3/5/12)
- T-Shirt Quilts Made Easy — Review by Patty Martin
- If you ever wanted to make a t-shirt quilt, but wanted something different than just the "same ole basic t-shirt quilt" than you'll want this book. There are a lot of great ideas for layouts included in this book. Several of them use pre-cuts, such as 5" charm squares and 2-1/2" strips. The pre-cuts will definitely speed up the process of making the quilt. There are also several hints and how-to's on what to do with odd shaped pieces taken from t-shirts, pieces too small for a block, finishing touches, alternative bindings, and quilting techniques.
