That's a really cute quilt. What size are your blocks and the strips that frame them?

You could also starch the dickens out of em. That would probably work just as well.

That's just what I was thinking. Or maybe even diluting some Elmer's and using that, so they'll be super stiff.

Or put stabilizer just along the edges, to make it go farther?

I think some experimenting is probably in order.

Watched a couple videos on YouTube and for the T-Shirt quilts they used a stabilizer/foundation. I believe it was Pellon.

Do the jeans just frame the squares or what? I do like this idea! Thanks for sharing.

I have made lots of t-shirt quilts and have always used fusible stabilizer. I can't work with the jersey fabric without it.

If you really want a stable back for the blocks-try using used fabric dryer sheets....i use them instead of paper for paper in paper piecing...that eliminates the time consuming job of tearing off paper
