My grandson, who has some learning difficulties, but excels in music, theater, etc., asked me to make a t-shirt quilt and brought be 39 t-shirts, many of which had backs with cast member names on them. Here's what I made--my first t-shirt quilt. I put the t-shirt backs on the quilt back. Hope he'll like it; I'm very happy with the way it came out. This board solved a big problem for me with the suggestion that I use waxed paper to cover the rubbery logos on the quilt while quilting.
Thanks in advance.

I love the Layout on your quilt. Did the waxed paper prevent the needle from making holes in the logos or what was its purpose? I have a t-shirt top done and am struggling with how I can quilt over the rubbery logos and not have the needle poke a hole in the rubbery logo or causing it to snag like a snag. Hope this makes sense.
Thanks in advance.

Yes! The waxed paper (or tissue paper also will work--according to the response I got on the board http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...t-t287884.html) prevents the rubbery logos from sticking to the presser foot. It worked great!
