I saw a couple different ways to make a t-shirt throw. I modified it for what I wanted. The total measurement is 60 X 72. I little bigger then a regular throw but I like big throws.

-
Start by deciding how big of a throw you would like. I wanted just a little smaller then 60 x 72. So I used 15 t-shirts. Cut a pattern block of 12 x 12. Using a rotary cutter and safety board put your pattern piece to your t-shirt. Cut out throw both the front and back to have two squares per t-shirt.
-
Once all of your squares are cut out, lay out your lines. I made six lines or five squares.
-
Stack each row in order so the order stays the same.
-
Iron your squares. Make the first row but putting the right side together. Iron your seams.
-
Make sure that you pin the sides together well as t-shirt material is very stretchy.
-
Sew all your rows together.
-
Pin the t-shirts to your fleece right sides together. Use your rotary cutter and mat to even up the fleece with the t-shirts.
-
Start sewing together. Leave block open so the throw can be flipped in side out. Once done sewing trim the corners. Flip the inside out and pushing the corners out.
-
Lay the throw on a flat surface. Get a large needle with yarn and tie the corners where the t-shirts meet. Tie throw the t-shirt and fleece material.
-
Once all the corners are tied pin the opening closed by folding the fleece and t-shirt material in and together.
You can hand sew the once together. I choose to sew around the edge of the hole thing so the one block with be hid and makes a nice finish.
Even up all the yarn corners so they match.
Enjoy your cute fleece throw

I've been collecting t-shirts for over a year now to make one of these, but I still haven't enought t-shirts. usually because I like them to much and make something else with them. I really like yours. *high five*
