I have made several T-shirt quilts and have used the light weight fusible Pellon and fusible tricot interfacing. My favorite is the tricot. The heavier interfacings seem to make the blocks heavy and thus the whole quilt heavy. Because of that, I also use a very light batting such as Thermore. When shirts have a number on the back, I have sewn the team name and the number together to make a single block. I have also included computer printed pictures of the team, etc. To finish, I quilted with a medium meander and quilted right over the wording without any problem. Good luck.

I know that this is late for an answer. I am just getting to reading all of my e:mails. I have been in and out of the hospital and had surgrey about a month ago so since August 15 I havbeen out of everything that is fun. I have made a number of T-shirt quilts , in fact I am working on one now. I use the woven fusible interfacing and I put the straight grain of interfacing on the stretch grain of T-shirt. I also like to applique pictures of the things that person enjoyed doing or does.
I made a big queen size one for a friend that lost her only son and I put a lot of his pictures of different things on it and she was really surprised but really loved it. Did the same thing to the one that I am doing now. You can e:mail if you wnat I live in Missouri
