    How cute!!! You did a good job. What did you use to stabilize it with?

    Ok, this is something new to me. What is generally used as stabilizer for knit pieces?

    The quilt is great! So many beautiful T-shirts.

    Love your t-shirt quilt. All my t-shirts look like rags compared to yours.

    Very pretty. I think this is the "girly" T-shirt quilt I have ever seen and I really like it, thanks for sharing.

    I have made two t shirt quilts and learned the hard way.... First one, I used the fusible stabilizer, Cost a lot and lots of work and made the quilt really heavy. Second one, I starched the daylights out of the shirts, then cut them.... Worked much better. I machine quilted just horizontal and vertical lines, about 4 inches apart. I did find that it was way easier when I had to adjust the fabric if I was off. Here is a pic
