Hi,
I am new to this board. I am also new back to quilting. I did a little about 15 yrs ago. My first new effort is a t-shirt quilt, double-sided, large 15" squares. I just turned the quilt right side out and stiched about 1/2" from the edge. It looks pretty good - - will figure out how to post the pic next.
My question is, can you recommend where I can get some ideas or a free pattern for the machine stitching? I don't want to use tufting, would prefer a very simple overall pattern.
I don't really care about the pattern being a theme but the shirts were all from running events, habitat for humanity volunteering, and a couple aviation events if that helps.
Thanks for your help,
Lin

Hi Lin and welcome to the group. This is an amazing bunch. But, then again, I don't think I've ever met a quilter who wasn't.
