Great tips...I use a Lightweight, Nonwoven, fusible (purple package at Walmart, or off the bolt..depends on how many I want to make)..and I do mine like purfectquilts does.

Use a wee touch of a washable glue stick to help hold your seams open rather than pressing to one side (less bulk). Press nicely but remember not to press over any rubberized, painted, etc. emblems on the t shirt.

They look good with or without sashing. This picture will show some of the blocks I am working on. They are not yet in final placement and do not show the sashing.
