Get the book 'How to Make a Too Cool T-shirt Quilt' by Andrea T Funk.

I used Pellon fusible, worked fine for me

Suz

I understand that the knit (tricot) fusible stabilizer is a good choice. Since tees stretch east/west, this stabilizer should be fused north/south. I think this will keep the layers together better than having the stretch running the same. When you "fussy cut", be sure to oversize the block by a few inches. When everything is fused, cool and rested, then cut the block to the correct size. And be sure to use a woven fabric for your sashing. This will help w/stretching even if it is only one inch wide. Use sashing to make the block size the same, if you wish. No sashing encourages stretching. Good luck. Let us see your finished project.

That is a great book. My DD used it to make my T-shirt quilt and several more for other people. I think it makes a more interesting quilt than having the shirts lined up in rows. She did not use a stabilizer. Quilt was meandered in a LA. BTW; There were stains on several shirts They were part of the memories.

I have directed many folks to Eleanor Burns T-Shirt quilt video. She has tons of tips and I found her video to be easy to follow and a whole lot more sane than some of them! She also does narrow strips and 4 patches so you can use a variety of logos. The way she cuts her shirts and sets them makes a difficult job a whole lot easier.

When I was asked to do a t-shirt quilt for a friend's daughter, I went looking for help. I found this website (I found very helpful): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW6v...id=IHzyAEhSiXU. I aslo found graph paper helpful for the layout.

One thing my long armer said was to not use a 45 degree angle if you are using a sashing strip. It stretches to much and will be hard to quilt on a long arm.

Have fun and let us see the quilt when you are done.
