Neither does mine. When I quilted them on my DSM, I would STID first and then if there was a lot of space of empty t-shirt, get out the stencils and see if anything looks great. I might just might draw echo lines and do straight stitching to accent the angles of the block. Hope you have a good support area because t-shirt quilts are HEAVY !!
