    Question Hello from Garland Texas

    I am new to the website and am doing finishing work on a quilt made up of concert t-shirts for rock and country bands for an elderly lady. I would like suggestions on how to quilt the top so that it does not take away from the images on the t-shirts that is the top of the quilt. All the images are roughly rectangle in shape and about 12 to 14 inches long and about 10-12 wide. Suggestions please PM me. Thank you for any help.

    Welcome from Ontario, Canada. This is public forum and you might ask a moderator to remove your email. The rubbery logos on T-shirts are difficult to quilt through so most find a way to quilt around them.

    You will learn much from the talented quilters on this site. I made both my sons T-shirt quilts with their middle and high school activity shirts. I quilted the sashing and around the logo in the block. Welcome from the beautiful mountains of western NC.

    Thank you for the greetings and the advice. I will try quilting around the images and lettering.
