A dear, deeply respected friend died in a motorcycle accident and I offered to make a memory quilt for his ten-year old son from some of his shirts. His wife sent the shirts, mostly button down except for one or two tee-shirts which she would really like to be put into the quilt because of the memories attached to them.
I've never worked with tee-shirts, much less combined them with woven fabric into a quilt. What would be the best way to deal with them?
My thoughts are that I could put a fusible interfacing (the kind used for woven fabrics) on the back of the pieces that I want to use so that they will basically "act" like a woven fabric, but like I said, I've got no experience with this.
