Here is mine--some of the shirts were littler. I sewed different wiedth sashing to make all the blocks the same size.

My daughter wants me to make one for her children's school with consecutive dates on the shirts...only 8 shirts. I can use the BACK advertisement 'page' for the 9th shirt to make a nine-patch quilt....

QUESTION...should I put the shirts in order (all have the same logo on front except one)...and where would I put the one with the ads??

Any help would be appreciated.

I would put the ad one in the middle but if it stands out too much put it on the lower right side or the upper left. Lay them out and leave them and come back and look several times; then change arrangement and repeat. Eventually you will see the look you want.

Thanks....looks do-able...and also with the odd logo in the group. Guess I am just unsure and afraid to tackle this new adventure for me.

I'm working on my fourth t-shirt quilt. It's the first one that I apply stabilizer on the back. And it's also the first one I've made all of the blocks the same size. I cut the stabilizer 14" x 14", then I centered it as best I could on the back of the design. Once it was stabilized, I placed my 12 1/2 inch square over the picture, centering it. Then I cut around the square. For the small logos, I used a 6 or 6 1/2 " square on the back and then cut around it. (I haven't decided what I'll do with the smaller squares, since they are not all the same size -- probably borders will be used and then I'll group them into some sort of block.) I'll be sewing a narrow cotton border around each block and then using a sashing around that. Colors of fabrics will evolve as I place the blocks in some pleasing order. Don't remember the tutorial I saw on the board a while back, but she had used red sashing around some blocks and blue sashing around alternating blocks. Since the school colors are red, white and blue, I'll use red and blue for the sashings. Not sure about the borders around each block yet. Many of the shirts do not follow the school colors, so I'll have to think out of the box.
