Go pick up a copy of the current "Quilts and more" magazine. In the bottom right hand corner it talks about an article for Easy t-shirt quilts. Page 65 has a great lay-out plan to make a quilt with a variety of t-shirt design sizes. Interesting to hear that your fabric and supplies ran $140. If anyone ever raises their brow about what I charge to make a quilt, I usually tell them that it cost me about $120 just to gather all of the fabric, batting, backing and iron on fusing. Once I tell them that, they are more than happy to pay me $320 to make the whole quilt. Good luck to you! Be sure to post some pictures when you're done.
