i have a question to ask. i am thinking of making one for hubby with his concert t-shirts left over from his younger days :) i was thinking of making a border of flannel around the fronts of them and then making the back a rag quilt using his favorite team colors - black and gold. does anyone think this won't work?

ok here's a pic of the finished top....still need to figure out borders though. I'll have to go price interfacing and see if its in the budget.

Oh, I just looked at your quilt. The blocks are very nice and set at an angle is so interesting. Congrats, it will bring many memories. I am, however, with the lady by the name of Lois (on your other link) and her suggestion of red-blue borders. I am not too keen on the green even for back but if that is what you have available, sometimes that is a must. Does the person have any cotton shirts? The back of the shirts could be cut into plain 12-inch squares and pieced for a backing. That way the fabric would be cotton and thin enough not to be difficult to quilt.

I made one without stabilizer. Pain in the tuchus. It stretched, and nothing lined up, yuck. I would suggest trying to cut down on the stretchiness as much as you can
