Pookie, most of the shirts were knits so I just interfaced them like the T-shirt quilts. The older ones were, like you said, awful fabrics - very thin cotton that was often very puckery because of the heavy embroidery. I just went ahead and used interfacing on them too so they wouldn't pucker so much. And some of the colors were kind of hideous so I picked the best ones.
Thanks everyone for the kind words. This fall has been a rough time but I would do it all over in a heartbeat. I am grateful I had the privilege of being there for both Mom & Dad when they needed me.
