TShirt Quilt

Kaylin's Quilt 5/2022

Kaylin wants her quilt to be around full size (85x90) but a little bit smaller.  So I am thinking 80x90.

The backing calculation was based on this website https://www.omnicalculator.com/everyday-life/quilt 

So I will need ~7.5yd of backing fabric.

Boarder

I am guessing on a 8" boarder right now with the corners cut to square to reduce the max len=74"~2yd length.  So top board has 8x8 squares in corners and 8x64.  Side boarders are 8x74.

Trey's Quilt 5/2018

Note: seam allowance was 3/8

My goal was to make a twin sized quilt of ~70x90” and it ended up being ~68x88”.  It end up having 3 columns that were the same width.  Cut size was 16”, 16”, and 15.5”.

The outside rails were cut to 8” and the top and bottom rails were cut to 4”

I made a spreadsheet to figure out what the internal rails and sashes would be.  To get the desired size.

The back was pieced together flannel.  The flannel panels were cut to

The back was pieced together flannel.   I had originally purchased the 2yds of the boyscout flannel to have it go horizontal in the middle but then I realized the pattern with the length of the bolt and not up down with the width.  So I had to cut it in half and piece it together side by side.  The flannel panels were cut to
