Thanks for the compliment !!! As you see - some of the shirts were not the same sizes or the 'important parts' were small on a boring background - on the last quilt I took 3 X 22 inch wide strips and zigzag-ed the shirts onto those strips - then seamed the three sections together - it was a great easier to control. The HS footbal one is a stadium blanket on the other side and has tee-shirts on that side as well

Great idea regarding the zigzag onto the strips. I would have never thought of that at all. My thoughts would just be "block" w/sashing. Great tip! bevster
