Great job! I like the no sashing and no borders! Having a balance of light, medium, and dark backgrounds allow the blocks to compliment each other.

I think you did a very nice job with making this T-shirt quilt. The layout can be the most difficult part.

Thanks so much. I googled T-shirt quilts & then looked at several pictures that had both sashing/borders and those without. I chose without, because she brought over almost 60 shirts. Although if I remember correctly I only used 24-25 of the shirts. I thought I'd get more shirts in without sashing. If I goofed on cutting (and I did a couple of times) or just needed a filler I used some of the small logos on pockets or the sleeves...lol.
