You are truly a saint! Looks great, too. I unfortunately saw a picture of T-shirt quilts years ago--long before I quilted--and decided to make one each for my kids when they went to college--of course, since they wouldn't stay in dorm rooms forever, I made them to fit their home queen size beds! And since the magazine (not a quilters mag) really didn't include any instructions--I just cut the T-shirts and started putting them together--without any interfacing! Talk about seams stretching! And of course, each had at least one shirt that they insisted needed to be included--and it had raglan sleeves that did NOT fit well with the other blocks. DD's was so heavy with batting and tied, that when I did DS, we decided no batting and just used a sheet for backing. Never again--despite now know how you are SUPPOSE to do the darn things. I know now how to do them--take to a Guild member that does them professionally!
