I have made a lot of tshirt quilts over the years, mostly as commissions. They are so vibrant simply because of the large size of the shirt blocks and the graphic designs. Tshirt quilts are not difficult to piece if you prep the tshirt fabric properly. However, like any bedsize or larger quilt, they are unwieldy to machine-quilt on a domestic-use sewing machine since the arm is only 6". It's doable but it does take careful basting and rolling. Some sewing machine manufacturers have designed a domestic-use machine designed with a longer arm.
