    I think it's great just the way it is. Maybe switch the center and the lower left one. The only foreseeable issue that I see is that the black you shadow with may make the T-shirt black wash out a bit. I would take at least the black T-shirts when I buy the shadow fabric just to double check for a great match before you buy it, wash it and find out it washes out the T-Shirt. (You know how many shades of black there are in fabric). Looks great!

    Really nice!...........Just wondering what kind of stabilizer you're using on the back of the blocks. I'm getting ready to make one and could use some input.
    TIA

    Make sure you use some kind of stabilizer on t-shirt blocks - prevents stretching and movement when quilting.

    One of my students is starting her T shirt quilt. We are going to do it like an Attic Window.

    I use a fusible tricot. It is a poly knit and maintains its flexibility while providing a stable foundation. I make sure that I iron it on with the cross grain of the fusible to the straight of grain on the tshirt.
