Interfacing for T-Shirt quilt
#1
I want to make a T-shirt quilt from my grandsons' little shirts. I know you have to fuse interfacing onto the backs of the shirts to provide stability and less stretching. Most of the shirts have logos or decals on them. Won't they melt when ironing on the interfacing? Is there another way to make a T-shirt quilt?

Just be sure to use the right kind of interfacing. I like nylon tricot for that sort of thing; just make sure that the stretchiest grainline of the nylon tricot is going along the least stretchy grainline of the t-shirt fabric.
