What a great quilt! I especially like the way you made half-blocks from the t-shirts and used them as the border, and used only a very thin sashing.

I can just give you words of encouragement but no advice. There area many tutorials and videos about basting a larger quilt (which is half the hassle).

Here's how some of the masters do it, regardless if you're doing a meandering stitch or dense micro-stippling. That will give you some ideas whatever method of quilting you decide on.
