    The t-shirt quilt I made for my friend's son turned out to be a queen size and it was very heavy. I did some kind of creativing FMQ in each block but only around the design. I avoided the design completely. I tied a knot inside of each cornerstone to give it a less formal look since it will be for a boy and in a dorm room. Who knows what kind of abuse it will be subjected to. haha The FMQ wasn't fancy or had special designs....I basically treated each block as a practice block and took my time since the quilt was so heavy. Stitched something different in each block, willy/nilly...it turned out fine and he loved it. I've attached a pic, sorta of fuzzy because it was an i-phone pic. My advice, take your time, take breaks, and perfection isn't important. Enjoy the process.
