Graphic Tee Quilt Blocks

by Judy Tucker


Amy Friend is hosting the Graphic Tee Quilt Along. Her pattern includes T shirt blocks that are 12, 9 and 6 inches square, coming together to make a quilt. All the blocks are foundation pieced.

Foundation piecing is great, but not something I love to do. I’m so slow…it takes me most of day to make a single block. I’m only planning to make four 12 inch blocks which I will use to make a wall hanging. This pattern caught my eye because I love putting pockets on wearable T shirts

I’ve chosen to put real pockets on 2 block and the other two will have a design patch sewn into the block. Playing music is the theme of this wall hanging. ds

There is an error in my piecing on the two T blocks with the real pockets. My neckline is angular but in the pattern it actually is a smooth curve. Since I made the same error in two blocks, and I like the look, I’ve decided to leave it as is. So now it’s my “decision choice”, the quilter’s line to explain an “error”.

I’ve made two other blocks so far, but I'm thinking I might rework those. But I do really like this one!
