hope to finish my first one today. I put fusible interfacing on the back of the shirt and squared them up all different sizes--then built rows from them using the pieces of left over t-shirt which I also put interfacing on. Resulted in four rows --the row is all the same size block, but the rows are different sizes. Allows for bigger shirt photos. I like the random-ness of the quilt, it isn't block, sashing, block, sashing......all the same. Also very colorful. I did use cotton sashing (black mostly) to help stablize the blocks, the project was fun--I learned a bunch just jumping in and doing it, and would do another--with some modifications..........since the shirts are my DD-in laws, I kept it simple and didn't add orphan blocks or printed fabrics, just HER shirts. Hope she loves it- it is a big twin wrap around size.
