    The stabilizer I bought ("Pellon Stacey") is 22" wide and the blocks will be cut 15". Can I piece the rest to get a few extra blocks or will it show through the quilt? (my first tee-shirt quilt). Thanks in advance. Pauline

    I use fusible tricot and piece it. It is very thin and I overlap it a tiny bit. Not sure about yours but test on a scrap and see if the overlap shows thru.
