Trim to the desired square or rectangular shape. Lynne then works on a design wall (or floor) placing prepared t-shirt blocks in vertical rows. Use 100% fabric of your choice to add sashings/coping strips, unifying your vertical row widths.


ditto, with just a quick addition. I use fusible tricot. It is extremely lightweight add fuses well to t shirt fabric. HOWEVER, make sure that the stretch of the tricot is going in the opposite direction of the stretch on the t shirt. This makes for a really nice soft t shirt quilt.
