The T-shirt quilt is my first. I read a lot of info here and on internet, then I just winged it. They brought her to tears.

I love this combo! Thanks for listing the source. I found (and just bought) a cheap copy of the book. In the meantime, can you tell me what type of padding (regular batting or something else), if any, you used for the sleeve? Thanks.

The patterncalls for a lot of velcro. I would not use as much next time.

Thank you.. It was fun to make, once I got over the fear of messing up on cutting the shirts up. I did learn that one must put interfacing on prioe to cutting. If not, the squares tend to draw up some.
