T shirt quilts?
#1
Has anyone ever done T shirt quilts from old sport t-shirts? I think there is a special way to make them so that they don't strech out of shape, but am not sure? Is there a book out there anyone would recommend?

I recently did one. I used fusible tricot interfacing and applied it with the stretch in the opposite direction of the way the shirt stretched. Then trimmed it down and worked with it as though any other fabric. It came out great, and it was very soft, not stiff like I was expecting.
