I want to learn to quilt. I've always wanted to learn to quilt. So I'm sitting here online looking up info about learning to quilt. My goal is to make a t-shirt quilt. Has anyone ever made one of those before?

While I was looking, I found these pillows. Can anyone give me an idea on where to start to make these (what I would need, how I would cut them, etc.?)

Any comments would be appriciated.
