Is there any other things to watch out for while making t-shirt quit? Any other tips to help?
Thanks for the great information.
Cowgirl, both of these quilts measured approximately 90 x 100 give or take. I was able to use prepackaged queen size batting for them.
The only other tips I have for a T-shirt quilt is use a pressing cloth. Don't ever touch a hot iron directly to a T-shirt emblem. The ink used on a lot of screen print designs can melt from the hot iron. (ask me how I know!)
If you don't use regular cotton fabric for sashing and sew T-Shirt to T-shirt, I recommend pressing your seams open.
Those are the only things I can think of off the top of my head.
