I use a light weight, fusable pellon interfacing. Just make sure you cut the tee shirts bigger than the finished block size. Be generous. Then, fuse the interfacing on the back of the tee shirt. Then and only then....cut the blocks the size you want them to be. You can put them together anyway you want.

I get light weight fusible at Walmart and stabelize the
t shirt sections I am going to use. I have made many & have never had a problem with it |

Hi,
I've made quite a few t shirt quilts and used a very lightweight fusible pellon to stabalize them. There are patterns but the best thing to do is just cut them in a uniform size after stabalizing and then lay them out on the floor to see a good pattern. If you are adventurous use different sizes and border them to get them all the same size. I'm attaching some pics for you. My first one was huge and was double sided.

I like sashing to break up the business of the T-shirts. This was the first quilt I ever made and boy did I love making it!

Missouri Star Quilt has a tutorial on this - use a light fusible (Pelon). I just took a class at my LQS and they did pretty much what I saw online. Meghan

I used pellon and I followed directions from the
Too-cool T-shirts It's a very good book and easy to follow. |

Also, how do you quilt them? |
