I know how you feel about this project. I was asked to do a quilt out Tshirt and someone else had already started the project, not knowing what they were doing either. It's been a thorn in my side mostly due to my inexperience. But I do know that this project will stretch me and teach me, in the end you will be glad...it will come together and it will be a huge comfort to the person you are creating it for. There are websites out there that can help you with patterns and instructions too. I looked up memory quilts, tshirt quilts and rememberance quilts to get more info. Hope you are able to find what you need.
