Use a marker to trace the template. Cut just inside the line. 4. Once all the t-shirts are cut, use the template to cut out the same number of fleece square. 6. Match a t-shirt with a fleece square back sides together. 6. One each square quilt with a diagonal pattern. 7. Repeat the same diagonal going the opposite way. 8. Once all squares have been quilted sew t-shirts into rows and then sew rows together. Use a 1/2' seam allowance. Trim the seam very slightly with pinking shears. 9. Fold each side of the seam over and stitch 1/4" from the original seam to make a 1" border. 10. For outside border turn over 1/4'for a total of 1/2". Top stitch in the middle.
