30 Seconds to Mars Quilt

Band tshirts can accumulate pretty quickly if you are like me and go see them live at least 3x a year. I had a huge amount of t-shirts from gigs, promo events and VIP tote bags, and some from their website. Spot the odd one tho, a quilty Easter egg, that refers to one of Jared's movie roles. Most of these have been worn to death, and making a quilt out of them is a good way of preserving the memories. I used approx 20 t-shirts for this project. All logos and pictures were cut out and backed with interfacing, then sewn together in an improv style. I was aiming for a single duvet size quilt.

I backed the quilt with leftover fabric, so it is mostly plain. Wadding was cotton and bamboo mix and it is super warm, has a feel of a lovely weighted blanket.

I still have enough Mars T-shirts to make another quilt, another project on my list of to-do.

Commissions accepted, you must provide T-Shirts, and bear in mind it is a long project.
