Just finished this tee shirt quilt two nights ago. It is for a customer, my first tee shirt quilt. I followed a lot of tips posted on this board, thank goodness. I found it fairly challenging. I stabilized the shirts as was strongly suggested. And still found the shirts wanted to stretch, scoot and wrinkle when I tried to machine quilt around the printed designs. I ended up taking all the machine stitching out of my first attempt. Then I hand quilted around the designs on the shirts, and the lettering. I machine stitched in the ditch on the sashing and borders. I used a purchased flame embroidery design with my machine hoop to anchor the corners and blank spots on the shirts. Added a decorative machine design on the border, and hey, presto, it is done. The flame fabric was the customer's choice after I showed him the fabric online. So, next week I will call him to come collect his quilt. Gee, hope he lies it. Learned lots of lessons with this one, for sure
