Thread: T Shirt Quilt Question

I am going to start a Tshirt quilt this weekend. I would like feedback on sashing. Do you use other Tshirts, or is cotton or other fabric acceptable? Any other tips would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

I'm going to use cotton :)

Since you have to stabelize the t-shirt fabric I would use a cotton fabric for sashing.. lots of give in t-shirt material so I definately wouldn't recommend it for sashing.

I used cotton to sash with. And an iron on stabilizer on the tee shirts to keep them from stretching.

I used cotton on my daughters quilt.

I stabilize all t-shirts to help rid so much stretchiness...and use cotton sashings.

I used cotton or flannel on the backing & slashing

I used Cotton....

I've never tried one yet, Only heart about it here.

I have used contton for the sashing on 3 T-shirt quilts. However, I saw one done with the T-shirts remnants as the sashing and it was wonderful. I will try that next time. The sashing was stabilized as well as the block.
