Ijust finished a T-shirt top. I used stablizer for the back...this is a must! Then I put them in rows of 5 across with two rows of 1 1/2 inch strips going down and across (like windows). I did the same for the boarder and I used navy and red. Then you place the batting then add the backing. I used safety pins (large) to help keep the quilt in place. I am hand quilting the strips between the T-shirts as I can't get the quilt rolled small enough to fit my machine. Then add your binding. IMPORTANT make sure the T-shirt is cut 15" X 15". I got a ruler from JoAnn's. I cut only the front of the T-shirts. I needed to have a few extra blocks so I took the back of the T-shirt and cut out 4 inch blocks to make a larger block that measured 15" X 15". When cutting the front of the T-shirt cut across the shoulder and up the sides. Lays flat and easier to work with. GOOD LUCK!
