    you did a wonderful job. It is not easy working with tee shirt fabric and cotton together, but looks like you had no problems with the combination. Beautiful job!

    You did a wonderful job on the quilt. I haven't done a T-shirt quilt yet but someday I may try one. Yours is beautifal.
    Great job. :thumbup:

    Thanks, everyone. I did stabilize each block before squaring it up. I stabilized using fusible nylon tricot and just made sure the stretch in the nylon was going the opposite way of the stretch in the tee-shirt. I use the same nylon when I machine embroider on tee-shirts or sweatshirts. I send my tops out to a LA quilter, and she had no problem at all with quilting the same way she quilts all cotton.

    I am also doing my very first tee-shirt quilt. I see that you free-motioned the border. Did you also do it to the tees or is it just the angle that I am looking at that has me wondering? Thx, Pauline. BTW, it is very nice, I hope mine turns out as good

    Wow, I recognize that Oak Grove logo! Not far from my area of the world. You did a great job, I hope to do one of these someday too.

    Thank you. The blocks are done also, staying way from the actual printing in the shirts. Judy
