A friend has asked me to help her plan a T-shirt quilt using her son's old sports jerseys. I know there must be more than one way to do this, but I don't know any of them. What is the best way to keep the T-shirts from stretching and warping all over the place? Is there a good pattern to use? Advice please! Thanks in advance to all you experts out there...

You have to use fusible interfacing to keep the T's from stretching. I use Pellon brand. You can get it at JoAnn's or on line. Once you apply the interface the T's will behave themselves much more.

Thanks for all the advice so far! I don't know why I didn't think to search before asking, just ditsy I guess. I found all the answers right here after doing a search. If my friend is serious about wanting help, I can give her great advice. Thanks again!
