    I am about to start one of these and LOVE how you framed each one! Any tips for me before I dive in?

    Very nice and the frames and background really add to the quilt.

    I used tricot interfacing and be sure to put the stretch of the interfacing opposite of the stretch of the t-shirt. I also used a ball point needle but I'm not sure if that is absolutely necessary. I was having trouble with skipping stitches so I switched to ball point and it seemed to help. One other thing, having the t-shirt logos some where near the same size would have helped in planning the rows etc. I had two very large ones and one small one (that I didn't want to eliminate) that kind of threw it off. Now I'm thinking that I should go back and do some fmq in the background between the rows, but some of the spaces are small and others very large so not sure how that would look. If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them! Good luck, it's really kind of a fun project.
