I like the beige and brown sashing/cornerstones. You were given good ideas for the quilting. I haven't had much success in quilting my tee shirt quilts. My machine has a hard time going over the "rubberized looking" logos. Lately I've bought a teflon presser foot to try to do my next t-quilt. Hope it works. I love the FMQ on the "trip to Australia" quilt. My next tee shirt quilt (for our graduate this coming year) may be a QAYG so I can try FMQ on a block at a time. I can hardly wait to see your quilt. The shirts are so interesting and colorful. Good luck. You've got the hardest (most tedious) job done already.

I just finished a large t shirt quilt. Took it to a lady that long arms and she quilted mostly an open swirl design but the great thing she did: she did not quilt over any of the words or symbols. It really made the t shirts pop when she was finished. Good luck.

Thanks for the advise about how to quilt the top. I do think that going around the logos and t-shirt designs is the best way to make the quilt pop. Will post a pic when it's done. Thanks much. - julie

Gail, I did sewed over the rubberized logos - once. Never again. I'll quilt around it, in the open spaces (like the middle of an O), and in-between the lines, but I've given up on quilting over the logos. It really does seem to make the shirts stand out more, especially after they've been washed.

Love that quilt, Sak658! I saw that pattern a couple of months ago and it's on my bucket list for my next t-shirt quilt!

Hi - well, here is the quilt top minus the borders. The one mistake I made is on some of the quilt blocks I used a stiffer stablizer than on others, consequently, the quilt doesn't manuver and bend as well. I am quilting on a Singer 301A and I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to quilt this as neatly as I would like. Thinking about just tying this quilt. The mother of the boy I'm doing this for probably doesn't want to spend the money on a longarm quilter. Also debating what kind of batting to use. I think a low loft W&N would be best as my machine doesn't like the poly batting at all! Also my 301 doesn't have a walking foot to do the SITD very well. Taking my time on this one, don't want to make any mistakes.
