    Robin,

    I was apprehensive at first, but once I started it went together pretty easy. I used stitch & tear backing on the t-shirts, next time I'm going to see if I can find a water soluable instead. There were some areas on the blocks that didn't have the backing and I really noticed a difference when sewing how easily they stretched. I don't think I would try on without some type of stabilizer on the blocks.

    I have a long arm so I quilted it myself. I used the pocket designs for the cornerstones, I was going to make a pillow with them but changed my mind and went with the cornerstones. She really liked the way it turned out.

    Good job!!! I was nervous about my first one. I've now made 4 to date. Always fun to make but more satisfaction in seeing their reactions!
