T- Shirt Quilt Help
#31
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.

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.

Also, how do you quilt them?
