This is my first "T-Shirt" quilt. I have done 2 lap quilts and one full size quilt (kit). Just starting out.
Thanks

I have had a couple ask me about a pattern. I didn't have one other than a piece of graph paper and colored pencils. Here is a picture of what I did.

The Interfacing I used for the back of the t-shirts was Pellon 906F if that helps.

Thanks everyone for all your kind words. I am very proud of being able to pull this off. I can't wait to see it quilted.

When you have that stretch fabric, do you have to layer a cotton or something else with more body under it just so it works?
Just thought I would jump in, having made 3 t-shirt quilts now. You iron a lightweight stabilizer onto the back before you cut out your piece to block size. That helps it to not stretch. Then you can treat it just like any block. Hope that helps.
Yes, I used Pellon 906F Stabilizer.

I have helped on several mem quilts and I don't think any on them looked that good. How long did it take you?I'm amazed at that quilt absolutely beautiful.
