I just finished a t shirt quilt, 88 x 102 inches, and it is heavy. I was concerned because it was so heavy. When I spread it out on the bed, I guess the weight is distributed and it is not bad at all. But carrying it folded, it does feel extremely heavy. I used cotton fabric for the backing , along with the fusible intefacing attached to the fronts.
