I've made them before with fusible interfacing on the backs. I like to iron the t-shirt, stabilize it, then cut it to the size I've already decided on. (if your making a 15 inch block stabilizer should be cut larger) I don't use sashing on these either. I generally back them with fleece as well in a favorite color or something that goes with the majority of the t-shirts.
